Should we use Compression stocking?

Question

Asked for Female, 88 Years

My mother's current BP is 105/38. She has a Stent since 2012. Since she is physically inactive, her feet and lower legs swell up after few hrs of sitting. At the same time, she had recent treatment for low protein/albumin, which also causes edema. In such a situation, should she use compression stockings to reduce edema? With her, both poor circulation and protein levels are an issue.
