Swollen ankles and feet are a frequent side effect of amlopidine. Many people have to be changed to another drug.

Yes, the swelling is very common, especially at the higher dose of 10 mg. Mine was lowered to 5 mg and candesartan added. By the way, I too had a cough on perindopril which is the same class as ramipril. Cough is very common in that class of drugs.
