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.
What is caved ankles?
caved in ankles occur when the weight of your body is pushed to the centre of your arch in the feet. your feet can look more flat and your ankles appear crooked. most peoples body weight is pushed to the outside of your foot, opposite to the arch, but caved ankles push the weight to the arch. This causes the feet to lean inwards. Sometimes if you have recently gained weight your arch can appear more flat, and the ankles can begin to cave due to extra weight pressuring the arch. Things like foot inserts or orthopedic shoes cancan help caved ankles, and help support the arch, bringing the angle up to a straighter position.
