Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Amlodipine causes swelling in legs for some people. If you experiencing it regularly then you can ask your doctor to change to another drug.Hydrochlorthiazide is a diuretic drug which flushes water from the body also used in treatment of BP.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
