Red/purple feet within 5 minutes sitting down? What is this?

Does anyone know what this could be?

when I sit, within 5 minutes, my feet, not my legs, only feet become swollen and turn this purpleish/reddish color and feel very heavy too.

i can only sit with feet up now, completely unable to sit with legs/feet down!!

this happens even with compression socks.

Bumping because I have the same problem.

Circulation problem I think, possibly vascular? Let your GP know.

Venous pooling. Do you have varicose veins?
