Unless you were running high dosages for years and years it is very rare for gear alone to cause heart failure, so I wouldn't be too worried.
I can tell you from running cycles that my hands and feet do swell occasionally - I can't fit my rings and my watch at times barely fits. What of course is unusual in your case is the duration of the symptoms after use.
The possibility of heavey metal contamination may have induced this reaction. Often as the body attempts to rid itself of toxins the areas farthest from the heart are going to have greatest degree difficulty - blood moves slower in these regions and sometimes heavey metals can become "trapped". This is a systemic problem that will probably take sometime to clear up. Be sure you doctor has checked for heavy metals in your blood - particularly lead, tin, and of course manganese and so on.
Secondly don't forget that deca lasts a considerably long time in the body. If your body for some reason has developed a reaction to nandrolone particularly to the ester whose metabolites have frequently been detected for 12-15 months after use - it is resonable to conjecture that your symptoms could be with you for a while.
Work with you doctor, and realize that often times they just don't know alot about steroids - there just isn't enough research out there, so he's likely going to treat your symptoms but he may never get to root of the cause. It will be interesting though. Let me know of any new developments. Good Luck.
