For me it was the Amlodipine that caused fairly significant swelling in calves, ankles, and feet. Tried a couple of different diuretics one caused urge to urinate and Discontinued amlodepine. furosemide worked great for six months but worsened tinnitus. Landed on spironolactone low dose 25mg with valsartan, and weight loss, and BP is better than ever for now, and without amlodepine swelling is mostly gone. No noticeable changes chest or growth rate from before (its been very slow but steady for years), but I feel much better.
I'm not sure how I would react to that but need to make a change. Regardless of minor side effects.
I would definitely discuss you side effect situation now with your doctor, it may take you to keep pushing for a set of meds that work for you without the worst side effects; you can probably find a combination that will work better for you and that may take time and trial-and-error… but worth it in the long run.
