There is some reasons for swelling, it could happen cause high blood pressure or sit tight in one place for a long time... try not to eat a lot of salt, drink more water and moving around lately.

That just my 2 cents idea.

You are retaining fluid. I don't know the cause because your description is too vague. Could be caused from too much salt in the diet, kidney problems, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, pregnancy, etc. Go to the doc. That's the only way you will find out what's going on with your body.

These other people have told you some reasons so ill tell you that you can get them to go down by elevating them whenever possibly above the level of your heart, if you are on your feet alot, some support socks might help
