Answer: It may be due to sitting for too long of a time, if he has a desk job, enjoy him get up and walk around every hour...doesn't hold to be long, just long enough to seize blood flowing. What may be happening is that blood is pooling in his legs and that cause swelling..
my husband does this to, i think its standing so long and its hot,, your body is holding lots of fluids,,watch the brackish and sugar,, i used to do that too when i was standing along time,,i had to sleep near my legs elavated at night,,he needs to bearing when he can and not stay in the same place,,or if hes have to move your legs alot to move circulation,,take some water pills to release the hose down he is retaing..it will help.. Could be various reason including congestive heart failure or problems with his vein. He needs to see his doctor to diagnose why he's retaining water. There are too heaps variables to guess..
Varicose veins, too much salt, congestive heart letdown (any cardiac history?). Try ted hose (they help circulation) and elevate whenever possible. If any shortness of breath, a trip to the ER is advised. stress, a heart condition, or freshly being on them too much or too much pressure.
