Hi there.
Your swollen legs could be because of loss of salts in the urine which is needed to keep the fluid in the blood vessels normally. The chest pains could be due to accumulation of fluid in your chest pleural cavity around your lungs especially if you have some trouble breathing. Kindly get an ultrasound to look out for the same.Eat a diet rich in protein.
