Brief Answer:
Can be due to edema.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.

The feeling of blood in the foot can be due to local edema- swelling of the foot or the blockage of the vein. This feeling should subside with keeping the foot elevated on 2 pillows or by using a pressure stocking. If the feeling is persistent after rest then do consult a physician.


I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
