I had massive HA last year had a stent put it doing really well. But I keep on noticing my ankles are really swollen even when I get out of the bed in the morning they are still there. In the afternoon before I cook the evening meal I sit down with my feet up but it never goes down. As anyone else experienced this.

Please contact your GP, it could be related to your kidneys or a reaction to medication. Are you diabetic ? Either way, this needs to be checked out by medical professional. Good luck c

Hello :-)

I had a Bypass op 10 months ago and in the afternoon one of my feet and ankle can really swell however if I elevate it or when I go to bed and get up it has gone down

My Doctor has seen it swollen I have been checked and everything is ok but I have been told as long as the swelling goes down especially when I get up they are not worried but if the swelling does not go down I should let them know so I would really let them know that yours is not going down as already said it could be your medication and blood tests need doing and they can sort this out :-)

Let us know how you get on :-) x

Hi I wonder if you are on Amlodipine as I get swollen ankles due to the drug, it’s quite common side affect. Had my triple by pass 22 yrs ago

I too have been aflicted with swollen ankles ever since GP put me on Sotalol. I have wondered if there is any connection.
