Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Swelling of the feets is a common side effect of fenofibrate.
You can stop using fenofibrate for some days and observe if you have any improvement.If the swelling improves you can try using another antilipemic medicine.
If you don't have improvement after stoping fenofibrate, you should consult with your family physician for other possibe causes.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
