hello anyone been prescribed Nifedipine for raynaud’s and noticed their heart rate spike? Since taking it I’ve noticed my heart pounding and the feeling of heart beets in my ears. Checked my heart rate on my watch and it spiked all the way to 137 just after taking, through the day I’ve reached 173. I know it can make your heart rate spike but has anyone had this issue snd if so did it go back down to normal after a while of taking?
