Seek medical advice ASAP This type of oedema could be a symptom of a number of medical conditions - few of them trivial

You should see your doctor to rule out any disease but in the mean time elevate them while sitting, don't wear tight socks or shoes, cut down on your salt intake and increase your water. The swelling could be a sign of coronary problems.

Elevate your legs whenever possible; your legs must be higher than your heart. Make sure your shoes provide decent support, and wear shoes with heels that are about 1 1/4" high -- no higher, and no flats. Make sure your socks are not too tight. Wear support stockings; put them on in bed BEFORE you stand up first thing in the morning. See your doctor. Swollen feet and ankles can be symptomatic of many conditions.

Raise your feet above your heart like if you're laying out on the couch keep them above your heart

Drink more water, elevate your legs higher than your heart. Have your heart/blood pressure tested.
