Kidneys or veins: Of the many possibilities, you could have low protein in your blood from kidney damage (bad kidneys leak protein) or your veins aren't working as well to return blood to your heart aka chronic venous stasis.

Several potentials: Sedentary dependent posture lack of calf stretching, flexing to mobilize fluid protein abnormalities that leads to fluid shifts cardiac congestion or valve leakage these need history and exam and probably some testing to decipher for you!
