    a sign of poor circulation, see your dr. asap....

    could be, or tired, diabetic, etc... see your doctor.

    You need to see your Doctor asap as we are not Doctors on this site .....it could be Diabetic cause or it could be poor circulation please see a Doctor now

    Certain heart meds will cause those ailments. See your doc. Don't play games with your ticker.

    How do you know a heart problem ? Whatever it is, not normal.

    Swollen ankles often a sign of fluid retention maybe to do with the heart or on your feet too long or standing in one position - everyone's ankles are more swollen at night and after resting they are smaller in the morning - for the swelling support tights or support socks must be up to the knee like flight socks - help the venous return to the body. The redness (shiny) is probably cellulitis which goes sometimes with this type of fluid retention in the ankles/legs. swelling like this is called oedema and if bad when you press it - it pits. Go to see your Doctor.  

    In the meanwhile, sleep with a pillow under your feet so that they are raised thus discouraging swelling......
