I am 44 years old, I work alot, problem is my ankles swell during the day, and go down during the night, why? I do not smole or drink. Could it be the cup of soup I eat for lunch because of the salt in them? I am thinking what I need to do is get back to exercise and get rid of the cup of soup. Would that help?
Hi, Thanks for your query. There are numerous causes and conditions that produce swelling in the ankles. A few important causes are chronic venous insufficiency, Heart related issues, kidney disorders, liver problems, water retention etc. A thorough and detailed evaluation along with a few investigations are needed to establish the correct diagnosis. I suggest you to consult a General physician for further evaluation and management. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
