What Causes Recurring Swelling In The Ankles And Feet?

I have recurring but not constant swelling of the ankles and sometimes feet. Most often it s just my right foot/ankle. I have recently been diagnosed with COPD. My next doc appt is Dec 8th. Today is the first time I have noticed rather large swelling in both feet/ankles, I have been very active today, with packing people in my home getting ready to move. Am I okay until my next office visit?

it does not appear to be related to copd. consult rheumatologist and go for renal profile. most likely it is nephrotic syndrome. urine can be tested for albumin
