What Causes Swelling On Feet And Ankles At Evenings?

I have just recently noticed that in the evening (5 p.m or after) my feet and ankles are swollen and I cannot get my wedding ring and other ring off without using lotion or soap. I take bp meds, a low dose aspirin, cholesterol meds and Celebrex for my arthritis

Hello,
I have studied your case and these symptoms are showing that your blood pressure in not under control. I would suggest you to get following blood tests.
1.Lipid profile and cholesterol
2.Blood sugar
3.Blood urea and creatinine
4.Blood pressure
Any of the above mentioned test if abnormal then it can cause swelling which leads to such symptoms. If you are taking high salt intake then that can also contribute in to it.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
