If your ankle swelling is due to taking calcium channel blockers, reducing the dose of your medicine will usually help. Or, if your blood pressure is not fully controlled, your doctor may prescribe you a diuretic to help lower your blood pressure further and remove the excess fluid. You can help to reduce the swelling by sitting with your legs lifted up. This lets your blood flow more freely and should help reduce the swelling.
