Hello again.

I was waiting for your reply.

I am very sorry for your symptoms.

Your blood pressure on oxygen meter is on low side.

The swelling of ankles is from accumulation of fluid.

As you have a history of high blood pressure, heart & kidney complications need to be checked for.
I would advise to take an examination by your doctor.

A few tests like metabolic panel, EKG, echo can be taken.

You can need diuretic & adjustment of your present medicines.

I hope this information will be helpful.

If you have any query, please feel free to ask.
