Salt and no exercise: You are describing pedal edema which is worsened by the above and improved by correcting them. Bad veins ( venous incompaten)could be a great contibuting factor, as can obesity. Lower extremity edema is increased by all these.

Swelling: You need to be evaluated by a vascular specialist that has a special interest in lymphedema. You need further testing and treatment.
