Hello
Your mother is 61 years and taking so many medicine for headache , high blood pressure , ,diuretics (hydrochorthiadize ), lipid lowering ( valsartan ).
Now there is swelling on the dependent parts i.e. ankle .
Because redness and itching also present ,so may be due to these reasons:
1 Insect bite .
2 Congestive heart failure , diagnosis can be confirmed by ECG , MRI .
3 Chronic renal failure , as she taking medicine for high blood pressure so may be due to kidneys involvement.
In my opinion consult a CARDIOLOGIST and get his opinion as physical examination is important.
I find this answer helpful
