Hi,
As your history mentions of congestive heard disease so it us due to that you have all those symptoms. Your kidneys have also compromised to function thus leading to fluid retention in different organs of the body. You need to report emergency room for evaluation. You may need emergency intervention and necessary tests like KFT, LFT .
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
