See your Dr ASAP: You are retaining fluid in your lower extremities and likely your lungs as well. Need exam and testing for heart failure, kidney functioning, and other conditions. Will likely worsen over time without treatment.

Could be CHF: The above symptoms suggest chf. Though. Deconditioning due inactivity can cause sob with activity. However it will not cause peripheral edema. See an internist for evaluation. You may need echo and cxr.
