Hello, thanks for posting a question on HCM.
I understand what you are going through.
When I usually prescribe amlodipine for my patients, some complaint of nausea and other symptoms.
A majority of them report that the symptom goes away after few weeks of taking continuously taking the medication.
I will advise you consult your physician for an alternative medication if you continue to have this symptom. Wishing you a good health.
