Heavy arms and legs…
He suggested changing the bisoprolol for
Adizem
as he thought my symptoms were probably related to the beta blockers.

What is the difference in Cartizem verses Metopropol for tachy and afib?
I just stopped all cardizem a month ago, Dr. agreed . I got 115 beats per. minuts yesterday at 4:00pm, got scared as I am alone, and did NOT want to to hospital ER.. Kardi mobile said it was Tachycardia. I was to frightened to go through the night like that and I took A Cardizem 180 24 HR ER. took

Dizziness with diltiazam.
He was given 240mg prolonged release diltiazam (
adizem
xl) He is constantly dizzy heart rate drops to 50’s later in the day after taking it in the morning as prescribed. Goes to 70’s in the night. Still multiple AF incidents. Any advice on how long the dizziness should last.

Corzyna
Hi everyone ! Hope the heat wave is gone . Here in Montreal is gone and I am happy as it was very difficult with my chest pain .I am still struggling with finding a solution to my extreme fear of starting this new medication Corzyna (ranolazine 500mg). My cardiologist wants me to try it . I read that

Atrial Tachycardia and Flecainide
I was diagnosed two years ago with SVT- Atrial Tachycardia and had an ablation. I had successful resolution of the Atrial Tachycardia and then it suddenly returned in December of 2022. I went in for another ablation and it was unsuccessful as the EP could not induce the rhythm. I was super bummed

Dilzem availablity in your country
I live in Jordan and have been on Dilzem for about 5 years. It’s the only medication which lowers my heart rate effectively. Am in permanent Afib. Lately, Dilzem is no longer available here and the agent advised that Pfizer stopped producing it . Just wondering if this is true . Do you still have it

Bisoprolol alternative to avoid cold extremities
I tried switching to a calcium beta blocker (
Adizem
) which solved the cold issues, but didn't seem to control the AFib. So I switched to a lower does of Bisoprolol (1.25mg at 7am and 7pm) but after 2 weeks I am still finding cold fingers/toes being particularly bad.

Also Inspired by Paul's Post: beta blocker vs. calcium channel blocker
Hello fellow Afibbers, Although I thought to myself, "It's just me," this update might resonate with someone else. After my initial diagnosis a year and a half ago, I was put on the beta blocker metoprolol --first at a low dosage, then increasing to the max (100 mg / day). It did next to nothing in

Third ablation, beta blocker change or something else?
After discussing all this with the nurses, we wondered about wether it was the
Adizem
not working, but they tell me that the beta blocker is more for rate control, as on regular flecainide with organised atrial arrhythmias a beta blocker is indicated.

Xatral, an alpha blocker does it elevate heart rate?
am in permanent Af and take 190 mg Dilzem per day. Heart rate is controlled and hovers around sixties. My urologist prescribed Xartal an alpha blocker to manage my bladder muscle weakness which is causing urinary difficulties. Took 10 mg/ day for 10 days and saw improvement of urine flow and stream.
