I fell asleep in a chair w/my feet down my right lower leg and foot swelled it has never happened before by the next am it was gone but came back why?

Swelling on foot: I think you have blood clot in your vein of the leg and you should immediately go to emergency room and get doppler ultrasound done. Don't postpone for tomorrow.
