Hello,
It is dependent edema and is due to high blood pressure or drugs used for the treatment of blood pressure. Keep the feet elevated and use compression socks.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. We have to rule out other causes like a renal failure as it can cause similar symptoms. In severe cases, drugs like Lasix may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
