Swollen ankle- post avid/svt episode

I’ve noticed my left ankle is swollen giving me a kind of step down to my foot. It’s only on the right side. I haven’t hurt it in anyway, it’s been like that since my AFib/STV experience 4 weeks ago. I’m wondering if it’s related ? Has anyone else got the same issue?

Good morning! It is highly unlikely. Would you be happy to list your current medication?

Currently on Bisoprolol 5mg and my asthma treatments, that’s all I am on.

Quite strange! When I was on Amlodipine I developed odema that was worse on the right. Have you raised this with your GP/cardiologist?

No my appointment isn’t until 17th Nov with the cardiologist so will wait till then. Waited this long. 😊
