Hi there
If ankle and leg swelling is symetrical on both right and left side it could be fluid build up as You rightly indicated. The most concerning cause of this kind of symptoms could be a heart failure or kidney failure. I would recommend you to see a general practitioner first and he will determine which specialist to see if he can't manage your case.
