What can cause swelling of the stomach,legs,and feet,as well as a dry cough,and breathlessness? My father has been drinking for many years as well as smoked a pipe for many years(40 plus years).He is complaing of problems with breathing,a dry cough,a feeling of fullness in the stomach as well as gas,and swelling in his stomach,legs,and feet,and tiredness what disease could cause these symptoms?I am worried,he said he has only recently had these symptoms,and was fine a short time ago.I remember a few monthes ago he said that he had fainted,and was having stomach upset,but before that he never complained of any problems on the contrary he said he can not beleive he feels as he does because he said he has never been sick before,he said he thought he got the flu from work,and that is what is making him feel as he does,could that cause the symptoms he is explaining?Any ideas?Thank you.
