Why are my ankles swelling? Preventatives?

I did a recent search of WebMD, and couldnt find a fesable explanations as to why my ankles keep swelling.

I work 12 hour shifts for a local hospital. But I am not constantly standing or sitting. I am not obese. I am not taking any medications. I have no family history of heart/kidney/liver diseases.

The only thing I think that could be contributing is I started increasing my water intake, because I noticed I have been getting chapped lips and lipbalm was not cutting it.

    It sounds like a renal issue. Have you increased your sodium level?
