hi, certainly you must be concerned. this swelling is probably result of heart failure and you collapsed probably your blood pressure must have fallen may be because of some arrhythmia. You should get yourself evaluated with from local cardiologist. Also you should keep track of bp.
You should consume low salt diet and regular brisk walking. heavy exercises you should avoid till evaluation is completed.
