Hi all , I’m due to start taking three a day as from Monday, my pulse is usually down to 60 or slightly lower when resting.

Now I know that is ok but I wondered if this drug would drop it much more anyone got any experience of it to share , I’m taking it for erratic heartbeat etc (please don’t scare the life out of me ) I’m a nightmare for new tablets 😊

Hi, I have been taking verapamil for several years-120 twice a day- to help with tachycardia/afib. It makes my ankles swell, but otherwise no side effects and it does help keep my heart on track.Good luck, Sue
