Hello all .... is anyone else on 2 CCBs please?

I'm already on amlodipine but have also been prescribed Diltiazem as I can't tolerate other BP meds. My BP is not too bad atm it's my pulse rate that is high at 100 bpm .

Thankyou very much

Hello :-)

I have never come across this before but it is good as sometimes some cannot tolerate BP meds that there is an alternative which is useful to know

Let us know how you get on :-) x

Hello BeKind28

Thankyou for your response. Apparently it's quite rare to be prescribed 2 CCBs.

As it happens I reacted to Diltiazem (got a hot itchy rash literally all over my body) so had to stop them. It's back to Cardiology for next step.

Thanks again for replying and I hope you are well yourself X
