What Causes Fatigue And Swollen Legs While On Norvasc?

I am currently taking 10mg. of Norvasc for my high BP. I am however experiencing fatigue and swelling in the legs. I have asthma and allergies to sulfa. I have only been on the med for approximately 2 weeks. Do I just have to be patient and give it time or should I be looking to change?
