I take two extended release capsules 240mg 1 every 12hrs. I serm to have fevelopef persistent cough, nasal congestion like if i had a sore throat and cold. I was tsking only 1 per day but dr. Wants me to take 2. I think 2 helps, but ive just been taking 2 every day now for a few months. I read that these can be sire effects. Any thoughts? Thanks.

That is a very high dose, when I was taking 240mg a day I seemed to have fluid in my ears and had to get a hearing aid. After an ablation the meds were stopped and my hearing improved but now I'm back on Diltiazem my hearing has gone again 😮 so maybe it causes congestion.

Are you still on 240mg?

Yes and with no real issues. I did have some issues with swelling prior to the MRM Cardio Chelate "Drano" use, but no longer. (Knocks on wood.)

They used to have me on 360mg, but that WAS too much.
