Question about swollen ankles.can you help?

My mom wanted me to start working out w/her because her blood pressure was dangerously high. So we signed up, and we started working out. She was on the treadmill and would walk at a steady pace for about 30 minutes a day. Well one morning when she woke up.both of her ankles were really swollen.w/alot of fluid on them. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is? They are still that way. Thanks.

Answers:
My Mom also has severe high blood pressure, she was also getting migraines. Her legs starting swelling like she was pregnant and her hands and feet started to peel; turns out she had Graves Disease. It's a disease that effects your thyroid, can be hyper active (high blood pressure) or hypo active (low blood pressure). I would have your Mom go to the doctor right away and have them test her thyroid. Edema or swelling is also a sign of kidney failure. I would limit the amount of exercise, you don't want to get her blood pressure too high, she could go into cardiac arrest. Wait until you go to the doctor. What I am listing are extreme cases, I'm not a Doctor so I can't diagnose. Just past experiences.

She suffers from edema. She needs to see her doctor and get a prescription for a diuretic.
my moms ankles are extremely swollen and i cant get her to go to the drs she hasnt gone in 15 years and im worried and i cant make her go i want her to
She probably is retaining water. She should see a doctor ASAP. He or she will probably prescribe water pills for her.
Tell her to keep working out.

I know when I excerise my hands blow up especially in the heat.

I hope it get better.
