What Causes Swelling In The Feet While Exercising?

Top of feet are swelling mainly during heavy exercise with some discomfort, applying ice and raising the feet help. I am 68 and I do have a pacemaker due to left bundle branch blockage and a severe lowing of the heart rate (installation was 2 1/2 years ago).
