High Blood Pressure
"Took 2.5 mg for a year with not recognizing any side effect.
At annual checkup blood pressure was over 200--but I had just taken a bad fall and had big time bruises and a hematoma (excuse bad spelling) on hip.  Dr bumped up amlodipine to 10 mg.  Within 10 days noticed significant swelling of ankles and feet and experienced pain on the inside of legs (the entire length of the leg). Cut dose to 5 mg and pain gone next day, swelling reduced.  Two weeks on 5 mg and blood pressure 135/70.  Another week on 5 mg and 130/69.  Feet and ankles still somewhat swollen, frequent leg cramps every night.  Considering going back to 2.5 mg."
