Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
It seems that you may be suffering from orthostatic hypotension if the BP would only drop when you stand up.
I would suggest in that case holding off the amlodpine for a while and monitor these symptoms especially that your regular BP seems to be in normal range. Please do this only after discussion with your primary care physician and only after his approval and guidance.
Hope you get better soon. Any other questions let me know.
