Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Swollen ankles may be caused by a number of medical conditions.Symptomatic treatment may at times give good results but recurrence is possible and cause may be life threatening.Reason for which cause should always be investigated and treated.Possible causes may include:
-
kidney problems
-
liver problmes
-heart problems,
-local vessel compression by masses preventing back flow of blood and causing stasis.
-Vessel(venous) insufficiency
Swollen ankles may be associated with other symptoms including itching calves.I will suggest you see the Doctor for examination and work-ups.Test like renal function test, liver function test, ECG and an abdominal
CT scan may help reveal the cause.In the meantime, you may try the following
-Take a
diuretic like furosemide
-Elevate legs while lying
-Reduce fluid and salt in take.
The etiologic management will be handled by your Doctor after investigating cause.
Hope my answer will help you
Best wishes
