SWOLLEN ANKLES AFTER 60 ARE NOT YOUR HEART — It's Your Lymph, and This 5-Minute Habit Drains Them

SWOLLEN ANKLES AFTER 60 ARE NOT YOUR HEART — It's Your Lymph, and This 5-Minute Habit Drains Them Your swollen ankles are not your heart. They are not venous insufficiency. In adults over 60, bilateral ankle swelling that does not fully resolve with leg elevation and sodium reduction is most commonly driven by lymphatic dysfunction — a mechanism that is almost never assessed in a standard appointment and cannot be addressed by diuretics, compression stockings, or salt restriction alone.
