Hello You need to go to a doctor. There are several reasons for swelling of legs. First need to rule out kidney diseases. So kidney function tests have to be done which is blood test. Also liver function test have to be done to rule out liver disease if you are a regular consumer of alcohol. Also ECG has to be done to rule out heart disease.
