In which I whine.
I'm actually a little scared. What I initially thought was a twisted, swollen ankle from yesterday has become two very swollen feet and lower legs. They hurt a little, they're so swollen and if I bend my toes, the skin pulls scarily tight

I wouldn't worry about the gatorade. If you were doing physical activity you're losing sodium and water through sweat anyway. Your lower extremities being about the same / cooler, and also just a little redness at the ankles is not worrisome. (warm + a lot of red is.)
More Q's: Is it around the time of your monthly visitor? Estrogen/testosterone can cause fluid changes in your body. With BMI above 25 it is also common to see swelling in lower extremities. Are you peeing normally, like as much as usual? (sorry lol, asking someone about pee is like asking someone how their weekend was for me). Also, was the transition from "oh hey my ankle is swollen and hurts" to "oh shiiiiiiiiiii---both my legs are 10 kinds of f*cked now!!!" fast or has it been gradual throughout the day? lol
I'm sorry you don't have $$/job/insurance etc eughhhh that sucks. When the time comes that you do, talk to your physician, especially since it seems there's a strong positive family history of heart problems.
Keep the legs elevated. Like they are flying away from HELLATUS or something.
