Is it true that ankle swellingis associated with heat exhaustion due to vasodilation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ankle swelling: When the body is overheated blood vessels dilate and the pressure in the lower legs can force fluid out of the dilated veins. For this reason lower extremity edema is not uncommon in heat exposure conditions.
