Hello,
Such type of swelling can be there due to:
-High blood pressure
-Hypothyroidism
-Liver disorders
-Heart failure
-Electrolyte imbalance
I shall advise you to consult to your doctor and get your self investigated. Till then do not strain yourself. Keep your lower limb elevated on a chair or pillow.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
