Hi,
It seems you are suffering from atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure (AFib and CHF). You should get medications for your heart failure and diuretics for reducing edema. As only one of your legs is affected you should also be evaluated for deep vein thrombosis by sonography.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
