Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The features could mean early heart failure.

You need an X-ray chest / EKG / ECHOcardiogram / Blood tests - Electrolytes, cardiac markers, Kidney function and so on. May be rate monitoring...

Some drugs like calcium channel blockers could also cause swelling...

You should see your Internist, as soon as possible.
It is better to be seen by a specialist and get assessed - than wait and guess.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
