Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The hot flashes and the itchy skin could be related to post menopausal symptoms. The swelling in the ankles could be related to hypertension, renal disease, increased salt intake, laxative abuse, etc.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
