Hello dear,
Understand your concern.
Following are the causes of your problem
1. Planter fasciitis: due to ligament streching, over exercise, sleeping
2. Achiles tendinitis
3. Hell spur : generally a/s with Planter fasciitis
4. Heel trauma: due to fall, trauma, injury with blunt object.

Take the following advice:
1. Complete rest till symptoms gone away
2. Put ice pad on heel
