Brief Answer:
Need examinations and medication correction
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
1.Constant dull pain can be caused after pericarditis or there can be some joint problems
2. DVT can cause leg swelling, but they also can be as a side effect of amlodipin, and as a result of heart failure
If you were my patient I would perform
-echocardiography for evaluation of pericardium, and rule out cardiac cause for breathlessness and leg swelling
-lower extremities duplex ultrasound for ruling out venous cause for swelling
I would withdraw Amlodipine, increase the dose of Losartan and add diuretic
Hope I could help you
Wish you a good health
