Based on the findings given in the history you seem to be suffering from heart failure secondary to uncontrolled blood pressure. I advise you to consult a physician/cardiologist for further evaluation which may involve certain tests such as ECG, Echocardiography and routine lab tests.
You may also need drugs like diuretics along with the BP lowering medications to control the blood pressure. You must restrict your dietary salt intake, avoid smoking, alcohol, and stress.
Hope these answer your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
