Suggest Treatment For Swollen Ankle And Pressure On The Chest

52 yr old woman, dull pressure left side of chest that comes and goes, ankle swelling, extreme fatigue, sometimes left arm feels tingly, but I also use that arm for computer mouse (not left handed though), regular GP says my insignificant heart murmur is a lot louder. Father and his family have strong history of tortorous aneurysms (subclavian, aortic & abdominal aortic, and problem with Fibrinogen, with aortic dissection... should I be worried? I think they are sending me for echocardiogram. I don t have blue hue in my extremities... I am overweight and work at a desk... but have put on a lot of weight in the last 2 months without changing eating habits.
