  • fatigue or excessive tiredness

  • dizziness or tingling feelings in the arms or legs
  • muscle aches and pains

If you are taking Norvasc and Fatigue is a problem for you then please consult with your doctor. Do not stop taking your medication without obtaining medical advice first - it could cause your blood pressure to rise suddenly and lead to ill health.
