Usually ascites (stomach swelling with fluids) and edema (swelling from fluid collection) in the feet and legs (also called pedal edema and dependent edema) as two signs/symptoms together are an indication of the inability of the heart to adequately circulate the blood to move excess fluids from those overload collection places. This can be an indication of Congestive Heart Failure and other disorders and diseases affecting the heart. However, other problems of the circulation, or kidney disorders, etc. can also cause this fluid collection to accumulate.
These signs are usually something not to ignore because the common conditions that cause them are serious and might indicate organ insufficiency or impending failure. Seeing your health care professional for assessment would be important to not delay. Try to avoid excess salt in your diet in the interim since it will increase the tendency to hold the fluids in those tissues. Advice usually includes that you should get evaluated urgently if there is chest pain or discomfort and/or shortness of breath (especially on exertion).
