Thyroid Disease: Possible low thyroid could cause this. Also too much salt intake. Lasix (furosemide) as a rule only helps fluid accumulation with heart failure. Would recommend doing TSH lab test first and seeing your physician.

See a doc: Please see a doctor. These symptoms are suggestive of among other things, a treatable thyroid condition. You need examined please, and perhaps some bloodwork.Do not delay.
