Can Amlodipine Be Taken Prior To A Venous Reflux Repair Surgery?

I am a 58 year old heart patient with a repaired mitral valve. I have a diffibrilator/pace maker installed in 2013 after collapsing. This year I had a procedure to repair veinous reflux. I have recently experienced numbness in my feet. My cardiologist has prescribed amlodipine besylate and gabapentin. After reading the possible side effects I am concerned about taking these meds. I am a working professional and cannot afford to be dysfunctional at work.
