It seems that Nausea is causing these side effects.
There should be another Med. that does the same thing , without theses side affects.
Possible side effects of Norvasc :
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Dizziness; drowsiness; fatigue; flushing; headache; muscle cramps; nausea; stomach pain; weakness.
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
