Is the swelling in ankles chf very swollen? like edema? i have minimal swelling, i can still see my ankle bones, veins, but they are swollen. just wondering how swollen they get. thanks?

Edema in CHF OK.: Press into the swollen area with your finger to see if the indentation remains. Increase hydration, feet elevation at night and increase walking. Some diuretics help. Your PCP will help monitor you progress.
