If that happens, call your doctor right away or go directly to a hospital emergency room.

The most common side effects of NORVASC include swelling of your legs or ankles, dizziness, flushing (hot or warm feeling in your face), and heart palpitations (very fast heartbeat). Other side effects include fatigue, nausea, stomach pain, or extreme sleepiness.
