What Causes Swelling In The Ankles And Shortness Of Breath?
My 82 year old sister had a pacemaker inserted for partial heart block a few days ago. She s done well apart from shoulder discomfort. For the last two days she s noticed swelling in her ankles. She s not short of breath and sleeps quite well. Why the swelling? What should she do?
i think you should consult with her doctor.as you didn't mention what drug she used currently, so i couldn't tell you whether it is drug induced or not.
