Hello,
PROLOMET AM contains metoprolol and AMLODIPINE.
AMLODIPINE is a calcium channel blocker and causes ankle swellings.
Headache could be due to metoprolol or some other reason which should be investigated.
You can consult your doctor and discuss about it with him regarding changing the medicine.In case headache persists even after change of medicine ,then the cause is something else which would require probing.
Thanks
