Adizem is diltiazem a calcium channel blocker, quite common for many of us to be prescribed this it is a rate control drug not rhythm control. Some find is easier than bisoprolol

You need to see an EP ideally not a cardiologist, they are the experts in the heart electricals which it sounds as if you have a problem with.

Be well
