    Swelling of both Ankles
    For the past month, both of my ankles have been swelling. When I get up in the morning, they are normal, once I have been on my feet for several hours, they start to swell. The right one more than the left one. No pain what so ever. I do take medication for Blood pressure, a very low dosage 2.5. I have been on this medication for 14 years. I take my pressure daily it runs 118 over 68 to 126 over 76.

    You really should go get it diagnosed cause it could be anything
    Poor circulation, gout, water,.

    Causes can include sodium retention, obesity, neuromuscular disorders, taking birth control pills or hormone therapy, laxative abuse, diuretic abuse, allergic reactions, trauma or poor diet/malnutrition and standing too long. Some or all of these causes may contribute to swollen ankles.

    Call your physician today. Fluid is accumulating in your lower extremities. Your heart and blood vessels are not working efficiently for any number of reasons.

    Best wishes, :)
