One of the known side effects of amlodipine is swollen feet and ankles. I'm on it, too, for high blood pressure and by the end of the day my feet and ankles are puffy to the point of discomfort. In the morning after 8-9 hours in the prone position, I'm back to normal. Lowering the dose from 10 mg. to 7.5 mg. helped a little bit.

I take amlodipine as well & was told my feet & ankles swell bcuz it is one of the side effects. They may be able to switch your b/p med. I tried lisinopril & had pinprick feeling w it. Metropolol made my hair fall out so sticking w amlodipine.
I’m in the same boat in that Amlodipine has been identified as the culprit for my swollen ankles, particularly on the left side. I’m going to try reducing the dose to 7.5 as you suggested and see what happens. Great tip.

Hello, @silverwoman & @marjou
That's VERY interesting what you say about Amlodipine! I'd not heard that before. Mime is only a 5 mg dose, which seems low by comparison; but who knows? My swelling first appeared about the time my primary prescribed the Amlodipine. I must ask her.
