Hello,

Any blood pressure medicine may lower the blood pressure too much and people may feel faint.

The only way to try to minimize this is exactly like your doctor did going with ONE medicine at a time and at a low dose and seeing if it is enough in a few days to a week.

Norvasc has only one frequent side effect otherwise which is it works by opening up the vessels and the blood can fall to the feet and cause puffy ankles.

This is not all that serious of a symptom. It's a pretty good and safe and effective medicine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
