high blood pressure
"Started amlodipine after stopping lisinopril due to throat swelling  after taking for one year. Amlodipine took 5 days to begin working on lowering my blood pressure after introduction.  My dosage was 5mg once daily.  It didn't lower my blood pressure very much.  Went from 165/111 to 145/100 in 5 days.  

Side effects included:

Very sore arms and legs

Lower legs felt sore and full of blood (heavy)

Facial flishing

Profucious sweating from feet and hands 

Headaches 

Notable lack of energy and sleepiness , nervousness 

  I recommend using this drug ONLY if it's your last resort and you don't need an immediate drop in blood pressure.  Remember everyone is different this may work well for you. Long walks seemed to help with the sore legs."
