Brief Answer:
Heart failure can be the reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Do you have any shortness of breath or tiredness? Does your urine get foamy?

Such symptoms usually indicate heart failure or kidneys failure. In case of heart issue, shortness of breath is a very common symptom.
Kidneys issue gives also foamy urine.

I suggest you to consult cardiologist and have heart ultrasound at first. Urine analysis should be done as well.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
