12 Worst Side Effects of Amlodipine You Should NEVER Ignore

3. Rapid or Irregular Heartbeat

Some people experience palpitations, but persistent or severe changes in heart rhythm are dangerous.

Watch out for:

  • Racing heartbeat

  • Skipping or fluttering sensations

  • Dizziness with palpitations


4. Extreme Dizziness or Fainting

Amlodipine lowers blood pressure. If it drops too much, it can reduce blood flow to the brain.

Seek help if you experience:

  • Feeling like you might pass out

  • Fainting

  • Confusion or weakness


5. Severe Shortness of Breath

Breathing problems are not normal side effects.

This can signal:

  • Fluid buildup in the lungs

  • Heart failure

  • Serious allergic reaction

➡️ Get medical attention immediately.


6. Allergic Reactions (Face, Lips, Tongue, or Throat Swelling)

This is rare but life-threatening.

Emergency symptoms include:

  • Swelling of the face or throat

  • Trouble breathing or swallowing

  • Hives or severe itching
