High Blood pressure

[Griever3000]

Hi,

First of all i would like to thank you or anyone for answering my question.

I guess i have always had high blood pressure, recently at the doctors my blood pressure was 170/101 , high? Yes, very high.

I was given a medication; Amlodipine Besyl 2.5 mg tab. I was wondering if there are any great adverse side effects to this medicine?

  I know its good to take a healthy lifestyle to get my blood pressure down and it would just be good overall for everything.

Would hypertension be one of the reasons to cause a sort of chronic fatigue? Also, if you know this, but does hypertension play a big role on your immune system or bodies ability to make antibodies?

Thank you in advance for your replies, any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
