Suggest Treatment For Swelling On Calves And Ankles

I am taking several prescriptions to fight border line diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and have had stents in my right leg. there has been a little swelling in both calves and ankles. Recently there has been a lot of swelling in the left calf. It subsides after being in bed for the night. Still some tightness when I get up. I do not get exercise, other than normal walking and moving during the course of a day. I still work as a software consultant and sit all day. Will some sort of exercise help??

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, better to get done the hemoglobin test and renal function test, because of the cardiac condition such swelling may be possible and this need to be ruled out too, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
