What Causes Swelling In Feet And Ankles?

Want to find out why my feet and ankles swell? The doctor does not seem to be interested but it is uncomfortable and causes me not to want to go out to shop, etc. I am in fairly good health I m told I have asthma and use advair, and know my BP is good, colesterol is good, heart OK, no kidney stones. I do not use salt so why do my ankles swell? I think I need to find a new doctor.

What's your age. Does the swelling subsides in t morning after getting up? or persistent throughout t day? If t regresses in the morning hours n progresses as day passes then it is physiological. If t persists then u have to rule out synovitis of ankle joint
Try limb elevation techniques.
