I am a 56-year-old business woman. I recently noticed that my feet have started getting swollen especially when I sit for a long time. Kindly let me know what to do about this.

Swollen feet can be caused by factors such as overuse, surgery, or pregnancy. Normally it’s temporary and not a cause for concern. However, since it may be uncomfortable and bothersome, you’ll still want to take measures to reduce swelling. This way you can reduce any pain you’re experiencing and resume your daily activities. If your feet remain swollen or are accompanied by other symptoms, it could be the sign of another health condition.
Some cases of swollen feet require urgent care. Get immediate medical care if you experience the following symptoms along with swollen feet; unexplained, painful swelling of your feet or legs, warmth, redness, or inflammation at the affected area, swelling that’s accompanied by a fever, new foot swelling during a pregnancy, shortness of breath, swelling of only one limb and chest pain, pressure, or tightness.
