Hi,

As you say she has edema in the feet and legs indicates she has developed kidney disorder and also she has hypertension which indicates that there is also some cardiac problem.

Shortness of breath is due to pulmonary edema from retention of fluids. All it needs an emergency intervention to check the functions of vital organs like kidneys and heart.

I suggest you take him to the emergency room as soon as possible for proper clinical examination and other necessary tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Soheel Hussain Zargar,
