Hello i have read your query and feel that you have dependent oedema in your feet which could be due to-
1-Long standing hours
2-increased salt intake
3-Excessive walking or exercise
4-using high heels or tight footwear.
I suggest you-
1-Decrease your salt intake
2-rest your legs avoid standing for long hours at a stretch.
3-elevate your legs if you are sitting on a chair by using a footrest .
4-try reducing your weight if you are overweight
5-Use flat comfortable shoes for walking.
hope that solves your concern.
