[|AI|]  Dear patient First if you were diagnosed with high blood pressure your treatment is for lifetime as blood pressure can be controlled with medication but it cannot go away. Also swelling due to high blood pressure is usually bilateral means involves both ankle and feet.  It might be also that swelling is bilateral but involves left side more than right. Please take visit to your physician and get yourself examined and investigated. Get renal function tests done. Ultrasound of left leg and ankle should be done to rule out local pathology. All the best.
