HTN and edema: Please check the dosage of her metoprolol (usually 25, 50, 100 mg pills). She is currently on beta blocker and a calcium channel blocker and has edema. Did she have edema before amlodipine was started? Leg edema can be seen in some patients who takes amlodipine. If her BP is well controlled, one can consider stopping it. Otherwise, a trial with a diuretic (furosemide or HCTZ) can be tried.
