Hi thanks for Healthcaremagic
2 problems here..
1.swelling of the ankle..if it is symmetrical on both sides it could be due to a kidney problem.
remember Hypothyroidism also can cause swelling...
Thyroid is not the culprit for kidney problem .
2.ED--pressure tablet Atenolol can cause ED.You can ask to your physician for a more specific beta-blocker..
thank you
