What is a heart attack?

Swollen ankles

Professor Newby says: “This shouldn’t be ignored, especially if the ankles get really big, as it can be a marker of heart failure, but it is also very common and has lots of other causes. It could just as easily be from tablets you are taking – for example, blood pressure medication can lead to swollen ankles.”If you’re getting swollen ankles, it’s worth making an appointment with your GP.
