Feet need to be elevated above heart level
Ice the ankles down
Decrease Salt Intake
Go in to the doctor to make sure you don' t have underlying heart, or vascular problems.

It is most likely a fluid retension problem. Try taking a diuretic like celery. Check out the link below.

Eat less salt and sweets, keep your legs elevated when you are sitting, and get more exercise.
