When a person sits for long duration, feet gets swollen because of the venous blood stagnation. This is called dependent oedemal. To rectify it, you should keep moving your legs often or walk for 5-10 mins every two hours once. If not possible, put a stool in front of the chair (of the same height) and place your leg on it and continue your work. If you don't find relief with all these then consult me privately.
