    Ooo that's a good one, I wanna say yes. It's probably not as accurate as your arm because that's closer to your heart but I could be completely wrong

    Steps to Measure Blood Pressure in the Ankle
    Preparation:
    Rest: Ensure the person is lying down and relaxed for at least 10 minutes before taking the measurement.
    Positioning: The person should lie on their back with their legs straight and relaxed.
    Equipment:
    Blood Pressure Cuff: Use a cuff that fits properly around the ankle. The cuff should be placed about 1 inch above the bony prominences on the inside and outside of the ankle.
    Doppler Device: A handheld Doppler device is often used to locate the pulse in the ankle arteries.
    Procedure:
    Locate the Pulse: Use the Doppler device to find the pulse in the dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial artery.
    Inflate the Cuff: Inflate the cuff until the pulse is no longer audible, then slowly deflate it while listening for the return of the pulse.
    Record the Reading: The pressure at which the pulse returns is the systolic blood pressure for the ankle.
    Why Measure Blood Pressure in the Ankle?
    Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): The ABI test is commonly used to diagnose PAD, a condition where the arteries in the legs are narrowed or blocked.
    Alternative Measurement: It’s useful when blood pressure readings cannot be taken on the arms due to conditions like swelling, injury, or surgery.
    Precautions
    Proper Technique: Ensure the cuff is not too tight and that the Doppler device is used correctly to avoid inaccurate readings.
    Medical Supervision: It’s best to have a healthcare professional perform or supervise the procedure, especially if it’s your first time.

    I was curious so i tested it with my wrist bp moniter and.... it is possible, but it was 50 points higher than my actual bp. And this was after i had to turn it on differnt takes just to finally get one to read. I was also laying down so mu feet were the same lvl as my heart.... so its possible just not accurate at all. A nice way to give yourself a scare though.
