Hi! I had gone through your question and I understand your concern. I would say that the sun in a patient like you can be a start for different condition. Swallen ankles and let after staying in the sun can be caused : - Your problem with your heart, fluid accumulate in the legs makes them be swollen and ached. (The sun cause dilatation of the vessels also)- Problem with your lymphatic system, kidneys or an inflammatory process the to sunburn I would advise you to call you treating doctor to check you heart, lungs, kidney that should be checked before we say that that is caused by sunbathing(this start to disappear 2-3 days after)Also keep put a pillow under your legs when lying down, reduce salt intake, take regular your medication while you are waiting for the doctor appointment. Wish you good health! If you have any additional question please feel free to ask.
