What Causes Severe Swelling In My Ankles?

I have a history of afib/aflutter. I have had two cardiac ablation and doing ok. I did recently have afib and my Dr changed my meds. I am talking Multaq and cardizem. The cardizem is new and I have noticed I m having a lot of swelling in my ankles and feet that I ve never had before. I will let my Dr know but should I be concerned something else is going on. My mother had congestive heart failure.
