Hello I just read your query and from what you have mentioned it appears that you have dependent oedema due to a long day at work or routine life.
What you need to do is soak your feet in Epsom salts at the the end of the day.
Also keep your feet elevated whenever you get chance through out the day.
Decrease the salt intake in your diet.There is nothing to worry about.
Hope you find my advice of some benefit.Good luck.
