    Prop them up at or above heart level, and compression socks/tights.

    I use compression socks because I swell when taking my daily walks. They help immensely look for 20-30 mmHg for during pregnancy.

    Prop up your feet, drink plenty of water and cut back on any excessive salt/sodium intake. Compression socks can help too. If it's concerning, talk to your Dr./MW, but I suspect if it's that bad, they've already noticed and are watching it as well.

    Acupuncture.  One session with a knowledgable practitioner should take it away within 24 hours.  And it will not come back.
