Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Prolonged blood pressure can cause edema (swelling) over legs. Antihypertensives like amlodipine can also cause this problem.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
