Changing from Atenolol to Adizem XL
Recently my bp has gone up and I have been put on 120mg of
Adizem
XL and stopped the Atenolol. I've been on the
Adizem
for four days now and my heart rate used to be around 55-60 and has gone up to 71. My bp readings are 115/76 when lay down but during the day they are 144/84.

Feeling more positive
Does anyone take
Adizem
and what is the dose and do you take a rhythm drug as well or do the 2 not go together? Any information gratefully received.

Resting Heart Rate in the 50's
I'm a 50 year old woman diagnosed in 2016 with high blood pressure. I was put on Cardizem 120 mg. Lately my resting heart rate has went from the mid 60's to the mid 50's. This very concerning because I don't know what causing the decrease and my cardiologist doesn't seem too concerned. Please help!

Pitting Edema from heart failure?
I saw the infectious disease specialist today for my cellulitis. He said that the pitting edema on both my legs is not from the cellulitis. He said it's either from liver, kidney or heart. Last week my cardiologist changed my heart med from cardizem to verapamil because he thought the edema might be

Leaking legs!
In September I was first diagnosed with Afib and enlarged left atrium. In November I was put on Cardizem, Xarelto and Aldactone. I now have severe pitting edema in both feet and legs. My doctor now suspects liver disease, which I have suspected for years. My concern right now is my 'leaking' legs

Should I ask my PG for a referral to a cardiologist?
My GP prescribed
Adizem
-XL; I haven't started taking them as I think I had COVID-19 symptoms and was advised to wait until I feel better before starting the medication. Luckily I am starting to feel better after 2 weeks, but I have been very worried as I also have COPD.

Beta Blocker withdrawal?
6 days ago my Cardiologist stopped my BB (propranolol ER 80mg) due to my BP running in the low 100's/60's and HR in the low 60's. I am in my 30's and was on the med for about 18 months due to elevated BP, anxiety. Cardizem was added about 6 months ago (which I am still taking). I recently lost 35lbs

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?

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 and
