Hi
I read your query and understood your concern.
Norvasc has as side effects edema, tachycardia and limb edema. So what you are experiencing may be related to this side effects.
I suggest to consult your doctor for further exams if needed and to change to another class of antihypertensives.
Hope i answered to your query.
