Is it normal to have a pulse in the low 40s and slightly swollen ankles?

No it is not and your swollen ankles means you are retaining water. If you are on medications some meds can cause swelling of the ankles and feet. A pulse of 40 is low so I suggest you get to your doctor immediately. I am not trying to panic you, but these symptoms can be mean heart problems to kidney problems. If on any medications then your doctor needs to know what side effects you are experiencing and either adjust the dose or put you on another medication. There could be other causes, but, if you see your doctor now there is no reason you can't control whatever situation is causing the low pulse and the swelling.

Treatment for swollen ankles depends on the cause of the swelling. For example. if the swelling is caused by injury or overuse, then resting and taking an anti-inflammatory might be in order.
