Amlodipine lowers blood pressure.
If blood pressure falls too much, you may experience:
Lightheadedness
Weakness
Blurred vision
Feeling faint
Actual fainting
This can be more noticeable when standing up quickly.
Persistent or severe dizziness deserves evaluation, especially if it begins after a dose increase or medication change.
3. A Very Fast or Pounding Heartbeat
Some people notice palpitations or a racing heartbeat after starting amlodipine.
This may feel like:
Fluttering
Pounding
Skipped beats
A fast pulse
Occasional mild palpitations can happen, but repeated or severe episodes should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Seek urgent care if they occur with chest pain, fainting, or severe shortness of breath.
4. New or Worsening Chest Pain
