I have found that the drS down here blow you off constantly . Had heart fluttering and they blew me off until it lasted 2 hours and I needed an ablation. Take matters into your own hands. First the swelling is something to take notice of. I would make an appt with a cardiologist for a full work up. It could be the heart is not allowing you to dispose of the fluids. If this is so , that could be why you can’t walk. Meanwhile , stop your salt intake and see if this helps. No added salt , no eating out. When you eat out they put tons of salt on the food. Flavor your food with salt free products. Limit your liquids to Water , 8 glasses a day - no caffeine. See if this helps with the swelling. Next make an appt with a vascular dr to check the circulation in your extremities. You could also have blockages in your legs. You don’t say if you are on meds. Some meds with cause these symptoms also especially beta blockers and choresterol meds. Check the side effects of the meds you are on. If any cause these symptoms ask you dr to change to another drug. I found I went through many drugs before I could find a drug that didn’t cause symptoms like these. However, using a forum like this to bounce ideas is ok but don’t take it as a be all and end all. People on here are not drs and can only give ideas not diagnosis. You need a dr for that. Good luck and keep us informed. Praying for you
