What Causes Swelling In The Feet?

I have had two strokes and have been very lucky. One stroke affected my right side. I had weakness on the right side of my body. Over a year ago, I had a Tia, that affected, again, my right side. I m ok but I haven t gotten my strength back on my right side. Do swollen feet have anything to do with my heart?
