What Causes Itchiness In The Hand And Chest After Taking Amlodipine?

I ve been taking amlodipine for only 1 week. I have extreme peripheral oedema (bilateral from knees down and also hands), itchy hands and upper chest. I cry for no reason and whilst I don t feel sad as such, I am thoroughly miserable. I have normal bloods apart from very slightly raised GGT. Do you have any advice and/or alternatives for treating/investigating my eratic rather than high BP? Thank you so much.
