Based on your description of complaints it is difficult to come to a conclusion on what you have. Fluid in lungs could be due to heart failure, infection, bleeding into the lungs, kidney failure, to mention a few common causes. You may be on anti-coagulants or steroids too which can cause bruises on your leg. Detailed evaluation requires a review by a doctor in person.
