Your problem could be Cardiac Congestion or allergy or anything else. Better get it diagonosed. In India this happenes with adultered Mustard Oil where Argemone Mexicana seed oil is mixed with Mustard Oil.

Anyway you can check which medicine suits you:

This is found also under Rhus and Lycopodium. Arsenicum is an important diuretic.

#Acetic acid. [Act-ac]
Here we have the waxen, emaciated, alabaster skin and dropsies especially about the lower limbs and abdomen. There is thirst, sour belching, water brash and diarrhoea, a broken down constitution. It stands between Apis and Arsenicum, but it has great thirst, and the prominent gastric symptoms will separate it from Arsenicum. Profuse sweating is a prominent symptom.

This drug is useful for swelling anywhere of dropsical origin disease. It seldom does more than palliate, though in renal dropsy it may do more. The special symptoms calling for it are a gone feeling at the pit of the stomach, cannot tolerate food, great thirst, but drinking causes distress,irregular heart, torpidity and slow pulse.

Avoid chlorinated water.

Switch to filtered or bottled water.

My mother who had heart problems for many years controlled her swollen ankles by switching to non-tap and non chlorinated water.

Then post more symptomes here.

Make sure your mother sees a good heart specialist just to be on ehe safe side. My mother indured a couple of very hard years because the heart surgeon couldn't find anything wrong with her.

While in the hospital she got shipped out by ambulance to a university medical hospital because the heart surgeon still could not find anything wrong with her.

The same day we arrived at the university hospital a very young heart specialist diagnosed my mother with heart problems and had three of her valves replaced immediately.
