Hi! I had gone through your question and I understand your concern .
I would say that the sun in a patient like you can be a start for different condition .
Swallen ankles and let after staying in the sun can be caused :

- Your problem with your heart , fluid accumulate in the legs makes them be swallen and ached. ( ThE sun cause dilatation of the vesels also)

- Problem with your lymphatic system , kidneys
or an inflamatory proces the to sunburn

I would advise you to call you treating doctor to check you heart , lungs, kidney that should be checked before we say that that is caused by sunbathing( this start to dissapear 2-3 days after )
Also keep put a pillow under your legs when lying down , reduce salt intake , take regular your medication while you are waitting for the doctor appointment.

Wish you good health!
If you have any additional question please feel free to ask .
