60 year old asthmatic male. Diagnosed with moderate LAD stenosis - and put on the following medication
Altorstation 80mg
Asprin - 75g
diltiazem 180 (Calcium Channel blocker)
Was already on ramipril
Started these meds in Jan 2024. Seem to have noticed I am really feeling the cold. When Im waking the dog my hands are freezing and go red - my butt cheeks feel like 2 blocks of ice - Could this be an effect of the medication ?
The only thing I have noticed is that my resting HR has dropped from 55 to around 45 - but thought that was the point of the meds ?
Any thoughts welcome

Your meds could be causing it but I would try and talk with my Doctor or pharmacist if I struggled ti get an appointment with my Doctor and see what they say just in case it is something else
Hi Topper60, it's probably the medication you take. I'm on lots of medication but my cardiac nurse advised it will be Carvedilol. I feel chilled within (it's a different sensation from just being cold). I think you should speak to the pharmacist or GP. Best wishes.
my husband is on similar and has a similar reaction - but it was diagnosed as Reynauds syndrome. Regardless, s word with your pharmacist has been said.
