Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Swelling in legs is a sign of chronic cardiac failure.
2. Limb elevation in lying down position should reduce swelling. Kidney problem presents with swelling in the face.
3. Further if not reduced, diuretics may be necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
