Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.You should think of two possibilities. One is hypothyroidism. So get T3,T4 and TSH to rule it out. Second possibility is congestive cardiac failure. For it heart check up and echocardiogram is required. So you are advised to consult physician for these check ups. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
