Hello,

The stiffness in the body and swelling in both ankles could be related to arthritis. Fluid retention can also cause swelling in ankles. For this reason, I would recommend checking liver and kidney function tests and performing a cardiac ultrasound in order to exclude possible heart failure. Regarding the sleep apnea, I would recommend taking Modafinil. The headaches could be related to sleep apnea or tension type headache. A brain MRI may be needed. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
