Brief Answer:
Possibility of congestive heart failure is more likely.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the attachment.
Possibility of congestive heart failure is more likely.
She has been already prescribed diuretic.
So continue with oral diuretics.
If swelling worsens then she might need injectable diuretics.
Please let me know if she had 2d echo done or not.

She should start protein powder.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
It's good that her 2d echo is normal.
What about hemoglobin and protein levels?
Has she tested for these?
Anemia (low hemoglobin) and hypoproteinemia can cause weakness and swollen legs.
She should start protein powder as a supplement.
