Most common cause of this type of foot ans ankle swelling is either uncontrolled hypertension or poor kidney function. I would suggest you to show it to your physcian and get your urea and creatinine level,serum albumin.. If any thing in above mentioned test is not right that suggest that it is the cause of foot and ankle swelling. I hope you are taking your blood pressure medicine regularly and also your urine frequency and color is normal.
