hello, swelling in feet on prolonged sitting is seen commonly in people. it occurs due to long time of feet at lower level than other body and it becomes dependent part and causes swelling due to also fluid accumulation due to gravitation. I would suggest you to take frequent breaks for few minutes every half hour to stretch and walk around. You can also use some foot rest so as to keep feet at same level of that of your thigh and hip. See if that helps. If it still doesn't get your serum protein, albumin checked along with s. creatinine. i Hope i have helped your query. Thank you
