Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that the swelling is related to the stopping of the diuretics. For this reason, you should consult with your doctor and discuss on the possibility of starting again diuretics. Regarding the chest pain triggered by deep breathing, it seems to be musculoskeletal pain, not related to the heart.

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