General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi Swelling of legs could be due to various reasons like being overweight, varicose veins , less protein content, Thyroid, kidney liver or heart issues to mention a few. You have not mentioned your age or if you have any other health conditions. It's better you consult your doctor to get a better picture or reply with a more detailed description of your symptoms so I can help you better. In the meanwhile use pillows under your legs while lying down. Try to get some exercise. Don't drink too much water after 6 PM. Eat a nutritious balanced diet. Take care :)
