My feet and lower calves very swollen and painful. i'm a long-haul flight attendant and wear 2.5in heels in flight. is my job/shoes to blame?

Shoes: The shoes are likely culprit. However do not ignore swelling other causes are blood clot, edema secondary to fluid problem or heart. Do symptoms resolve when not in flight?
