Yea please. My ankles have been swelling up in the evenings for the past 3 days. And one is worse than the other. I can put weight on it but it is sore. I do not add salt to my food, I am not diabetic, I am a ovu-pesce-vegetarian and except for an ice cream here or there, I eat pretty healthy. What do you think is going on?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swollen ankles. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like standing for prolonged periods of time, taking estrogen, antidepressants, blood pressure medications, steroids or NSAIDs, infection in the leg area, venous insufficiency, organ failure like heart, liver and kidney or lymphedema. I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper diagnosis once again. Doctor may order heart tests like ECG and complete blood profile. Doctor may prescribe diuretic like crusade. Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist in case of liver problem or nephrologist in case of kidney problems. Keep your legs elevated while lying down lower your salt consumption and avoid standing for long period . Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
