ADIZEM

Good morning all, My GP has recommended that I switch from atenelol to adizem due to me feeling fatigued after a short time exercising. Is anybody out there taking adizem as I've not been able to find out much information about it?

Help just need to feel normal

Feeling awful, my GP has said stop taking tablets and has given me Adizem. Read reviews doesn't sound good. Does anyone take them, they aren't meant for heart attack prevention. Think this is my last chance.Feeling awful, my GP has said stop taking tablets and has given me Adizem. Read reviews doesn't sound good.

Adizem

Have been prescribed Adizem in place of bisoprolol . The leaflet says do not take if you have a irregular heart beat which doesn’t make sense as I have AF. Anybody have experience with this drug?Have been prescribed Adizem in place of bisoprolol . The leaflet says do not take if you have a irregular heart beat which doesn’t make sense as I have AF.

Should I take Rivaroxaban and how long?

This long period went away after a few days on Adizem. Had to wait till April to see Cardiologist who said AFib is for life, it doesn’t go away, it gets worse with age, and I must take blood thinner for life. My GP said I was low risk being 62 female. Cardiologist said No you’re over 60! Take it!This long period went away after a few days on Adizem.

BP+ and Medi-Stats

Just collected new meds (Adizem) from pharmacy, who pretty much insisted I have a longer chat about meds and have the test and join the programme. It seems to be more about ‘normal’ people, and not really interested in HA/stents/ongoing angina. More irritating than helpful? Or am I being unfair?Just collected new meds (Adizem) from pharmacy, who pretty much insisted I have a longer chat about meds and have the test and join the programme.

Been doing good, then...

I had some weird experiences this week. First, Monday my nurse made a home visit and I felt I was doing so well that I could reduce the visits from twice to once a week. Next day, I saw the cardiologist after not having seen him for three months. He didn't like how rapidly my heart was beating andI had some weird experiences this week.

Pains in my heart - result!

He suggested stronger bisoprol but when I did try that a year ago I could hardly think and my head was even more fuzzy so he has put me on Adizem -XL 240mg and taken me off Lercanidipine.He suggested stronger bisoprol but when I did try that a year ago I could hardly think and my head was even more fuzzy so he has put me on Adizem -XL 240mg and taken me off Lercanidipine.
