Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in feet & ankles . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like Lymphedema , taking certain antidepressants , such as tricyclics , taking certain blood pressure medications , organ failure like heart, liver, or kidney , pericarditis or cirrhosis .

Doctor may refer you to cardiologist for heart problem , nephrologist for kidney failure or to gastroenterologist for liver . For now lower the salt consumption and keep your legs elevated while lying down . Also consult surgeon to rule out any post operative complication.
