It would be a good idea to see a doctor for evaluation.

Many reasons: Heart problems can cause water retention and cause swollen feet. Also problems with valves in veins in your leg can cause blood to flow from your deep veins to the superficial veins, build up pressure and leak water causing leg swelling. Obesity can predispose to this problem. Lymph drainage problems typically cause swelling in one leg more than another. Certain meds can also contribute.
