Hello welcome to the health care magic

You have edema feet, cough along with dyspnea

Hence cardiac cause like left ventricular hypertrophy or failure should be ruled out

For that work up done as follow....
_Auscultation
_CBC
_EKG
_2D echocardiography if needed

If no cardiac cause present than chest x ray done to rule out respiratory causes

According to cause specific treatment given

Take care

Hope this will help you
