I just started an increased dosage of this and suddenly have awful tendonitis in my right foot. I'm pretty crippled by it. Nothing else has changed to account for this sudden painful condition.
Is it just me? Will it go away? I will contact the GP on Monday.

I'm a GP who has also taken Amlodipine for high BP .
It gave me intolerably swollen ankles.
So ,so uncomfortable.
I insisted it was changed.
I think your tendon problem could be caused by fluid collection in your tendons.
Insist it's changed, however well it's controlled your BP.
Several equally effective alternatives

I’ve recently been diagnosed with sinus tachycardia after a 48 hour heart monitor. 15% of this time was spent with a heart rate between 100-180bpm. I have a premature extra ventricular heart beat very often. I’ve been prescribed metoprolol which I’ve yet to collect. 2 years ago I was prescribed Amlodopine 5mg. I’ve just read that this can cause tachycardia. I’ve no idea what to do now.
