Does Amlodipine cause weight gain?

Hey everyone, I’ve been on a regimen of 5mg Amlodipine and 10mg Lisinopril for nearly a year to manage my high blood pressure. Lately, I’ve been experiencing some concerning side effects. My stomach has become noticeably bloated, and I’ve gained weight despite maintaining a healthy diet and walking 6 miles daily to and from work.

Additionally, I’ve noticed swollen ankles and hands, frequent nighttime urination, and a constant feeling of tiredness and lethargy. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone else here taking Amlodipine experience the same way?

Please don’t adjust or stop your medication on your own. Explain the side effects you’re experiencing (bloating, weight gain, swollen limbs, frequent urination, fatigue). Your doctor can advise on dosage adjustments or alternative medications
