[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that the swollen ankles can be related to inflammation or fluid retention (possible caused by heart failure). From the other hand the troubles with spelling and pronunciation could be caused by stroke or any other disorders (including low blood pressure, dementia, etc.). Coming to this point, considering the fact that he is a heart patient, I would recommend consulting with his doctor for a physical check up and some tests: - a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound-liver and kidney function tests-complete blood count- PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation- a chest X-ray study- a brain CT scan or MRI. You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,
