include:
Ankle swelling
Flushing
Headache
Dizziness
Palpitations
Fatigue
Many people experience none of these, and some symptoms improve after the body adjusts to treatment.
Why Swelling Happens
Amlodipine widens small arteries more than veins.
That can increase pressure in tiny blood vessels and encourage fluid to move into surrounding tissues, especially around the ankles.
This type of swelling is not always the same as fluid retention caused by heart failure.
That distinction is important because the treatment approach may be different.
Should You Stop Amlodipine if Your Ankles Swell?
