Welcome to hcm,
Edema in your legs are to be treated by keeping the limbs in a chair or above the ground level and then by increasing g your diuretics dosage and having massage in your lower limbs
While sleeping I advice to keep your legs above the pillow .
Hope this explains.
With regards
Dr.Amarnath
