3. Excess Weight
There can be many potential causes for your ankles to start swelling up, and we would advise that you visit your doctor to discuss this as soon as you notice it happening – there are a huge range of causes that can make your ankles swell, and many of them can point to larger health problems that should be taken care of immediately.
Swelling ankles is almost always a sign of something else in your body, especially when you can’t seem to find the direct cause of your swollen ankles as having been caused because of a sprain. Overall, the ankles don’t like being under too much pressure, and if you are currently overweight then your ankles will be put under much more pressure than if you were currently at your optimal weight – this in turn can cause your ankles to swell, or it can even lead to some other symptoms.
