It's unusual for a young person to have swollen ankles (edema).
It would be hard to diagnose without proper testing.
It's good you're going to go see your doc.
As someone already mentioned elevating your feet is good.
Also reduce eating salty foods & increase your water intake.

I am not sure what would cause this, but a good remedy to use until you see the doctor woudl be to elevate your legs higher that the rest of your body when you are laying down. It will lower the blood flow to that part of you body.

How old are you? Swollen ankles usually occurs in old people with weak heart or kidneys. Don't wanna scare you but see your doc. a.s.a.p.

sounds like you have high blood pressure or need to take a water pill since I'm not a doctor and in health matters like this please see a doctor because high blood pressure is serious and you might have diabetes so see a doctor good luck god speed
