Hello,
* The bulge in legs, low blood pressure (diastolic) with extreme tiredness indicates cardiac dysfunction most likely as there is past history of atrial fibrillation as well.
Immediately contact 911 and reach an ER nearby for best evaluation with vital parameters, x-ray chest, EKG and needed lab tests for the best possible medical treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
