Hello,
Long standing hypertension can cause edema of the lower limbs. Certain drugs can also cause leg edema. However, other conditions like renal diseases also be considered. Consult a physician and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation is required to make a diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
