high blood pressure
"I am 59 and have been taking amlodipine for a few years. I never realized that the pain in my ankles, feet, hands, & wrists was related.  I thought it was just a matter of getting older.  I also have gained weight on this medication.  I've been dieting and I'm active, but the weight would not go down.  I would get very tired in the afternoon.  My doctor increased the medication and I wound up not being able to stand when I got out of bed.  I decided to stop taking it for a few days. Almost all the pain went away and the swelling in my feet became less.  I'm changing meds asap."
