What Causes Swollen Ankles And Excessive Sleeping?
My brother, 71, is visiting me in Florida from Glasgow Scotland He has been here since Nov 20 His ankles are always swollen and each day he naps and sleeps more than the day before. I know he takes a water pull but not sure of what else. I ask if he feels ok and he says yes but he is just tired and does not know why
