Swollen feet in summer, post kidney transplant

I was on it for over a year, at a higher dose. My leg/feet swelling issues started slowly and built up. Apparently that side effect is a known one, but not real common. I have other co-health issues they were attributing to the effect. It was a student dr who asked my neph if that might be the reason, that caused her to look at things differently!

I am/was aware that amlodipine can cause endema even before my husband got his transplant. It's actually one of the more common side effects. My husband has been on it since April this year but not seeing the endema until now. I will ask his neph if he can prescribe an alternative medication.
