I've been taking Amlodipine Besylate 2.5mg for about six months now to manage my high blood pressure and angina. I've found it to be effective in lowering my blood pressure, but I've definitely experienced some side effects. Initially, I felt quite dizzy and weak, but those symptoms have subsided. However, I still get intermittent flushing and occasional stomach pain. I'm curious to know if anyone else has had similar experiences or if there are any tips for managing these side effects. I've also heard that some people experience swelling and fast heartbeat. How common are these side effects, and what should I do if I notice any of these more severe symptoms?
