In that case, you need to consult a cardiologist. Also, you can get some investigations done such as a Venus Doppler of the swollen leg and an echocardiogram of the heart.
Also, I would advise limb elevation while sleeping by the means of placing pillows under the leg. Even during the day, whenever she sits, ensure that the legs are not dangling down and she can please a small support under the legs so that they remain in a straight position. These precautions will help reduce the accumulation of blood in the leg and the occurrence of swelling.
