The Bottom Line
Amlodipine is widely used and generally well tolerated, but some side effects deserve attention.
The most important symptoms to watch for include significant swelling, severe dizziness, fainting, palpitations, worsening chest pain, shortness of breath, severe fatigue, persistent headache, significant abdominal symptoms, gum overgrowth, unusual nerve sensations, and signs of an allergic reaction.
Most importantly, never stop amlodipine suddenly because of an online warning. If side effects are bothering you, talk to your healthcare professional so the dose or treatment can be reviewed safely
