YES. I have swelling of both legs, ankles and feet even after being off this medication. It also can cause increased heart rate. My cardiologist increased my diuretic which really did not help.
Swelling in the feet and lower legs (edema) is one of the most common side effects of Amlodipine. It is reported to occur in about 15% of patients who take it. You should talk to your doctor.
