Ah, bhal question. Amlodipine dilates arteries more than veins, so fluid leaks into ankles—the "rate-limiting" ones like verapamil work on the heart itself and don’t do that as much. I remember this because my mother takes amlodipine, and I see her swollen feet every evening when I massage them with mustard oil. The book says it's common, but watching her quietly endure it makes me think we call it a side effect too lightly.
