General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. The swelling of your legs can be due to Amlodipine. Changing Amlodipine to another drug or decreasing it to lower dosage like 5 mg will be helpful to get rid off this. Serum urea and creatinine should be tested to find whether your kidneys are functioning well. A consultation with your treating doctor is well appreciated.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
