Time to see doctor: A person who has heart disease and then gets legs swelling, shortness of breath, and cough... may have congestive heart failure. The usual care is to go see the doctor now, at the doctor's office or at the ER. The ER can take care of such issues and consult a cardiologist as needed. If a person has a heart attack or kidney failure, she can also have symptoms like these.
