Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
This is just to inform you that numerous causes and conditions produce swelling of ankles & feet. Some of the common causes include venous insufficiency, physiological dependent odema,certain kidney diseases, heart related conditions etc.
A detailed clinical examination and appropriate investigations are needed to establish the cause for your symptoms.
I suggest you to consult a General physician for a detailed evaluation and further management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
