Hi Dina!!

You should really really see a doctor, what you are describing looks 
like a heart faillure, which means your heart isn't working as it is 
supposed to, which make your kidneys acumulate extra water and 
sodium in an attempt to compensate, but it isn't a good compesation, 
it's a vicious circle and your heart function will decline even 
more. Some clinics (family clinics) offer free services for people 
who can't afforrd it, or you could enroll in medicaid or other 
goverment organisation. Any heart problem requires medicines and 
therapy in order to prevent even more sirious complications. Of 
course there are many other causes of swollen feet, but it's always 
better to make sure it isn't a sirious cause. As for the sympomathic 
relief of swollen feet, try putting them above your heart level 
(really high), it should work, at least a little. But again PLEASE 
see a doctor, you probably need a prescription.

Take care
