This is a side effect of amlodipine!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Fluid retention is a recognized side effect of amlodipine. This is not life threatening and should not really bother you. However, if this makes you feel so uncomfortable, you can ask your doctor to change the drug.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
