It is possible. One of the more serious side effects of birth control pills is blood clots in the legs. It does sound like you mean both legs and feet though? - which probably means it is less likely to be a blood clot. You should contact your doctor.
WARNING SIGNALS
If any of these adverse effects occur while you are taking oral contraceptives, call your doctor immediately:
* Sharp chest pain, coughing of blood, or sudden shortness of breath (indicating a possible clot in the lung)
* Pain in the calf (indicating a possible clot in the leg)
* Crushing chest pain or heaviness in the chest (indicating a possible heart attack)
* Sudden severe headache or vomiting, dizziness or fainting, disturbances of vision or speech, weakness, or numbness in an arm or leg (indicating a possible stroke)
* Sudden partial or complete loss of vision (indicating a possible clot in the eye)
* Breast lumps (indicating possible breast cancer or fibrocystic disease of the breast; ask your doctor or health care provider to show you how to examine your breasts)
* Severe pain or tenderness in the stomach area (indicating a possibly ruptured liver tumor)
* Difficulty in sleeping, weakness, lack of energy, fatigue, or change in mood (possibly indicating severe depression)
* Jaundice or a yellowing of the skin or eyeballs, accompanied frequently by fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, dark colored urine, or light colored bowel movements (indicating possible liver problems)
