The medicines that you've listed don't usually cause swelling in the ankles & legs. In fact, furosemide, sold as Lasix, is supposed to help you get rid of excess fluid/swelling.
Heart failure, kidney failure, and/or liver failure can lead to swelling in your ankles & legs. So can venous insufficiency, eg damaged blood vessels, typically from blood clots. Gravity can do this in just about anyone who stands on his/her feet all day long. Of course, trauma can cause swelling. So can infections. Acute blood clots can do so (as well as lead to long-term swelling). Consuming too much salt might aggravate the issue.
Best to chat w/your family physician and express your concerns. Good luck!
