Experiences with

Dilzem

Hi all, I’ve been quiet on the group for a while now as after my horrible introduction to rapid AF 18 months ago prompting a couple of stays in CCU things have settled on meds. The cardiologist has discharged me back to the Gp , apart from ectopics & odd thumps/ bumps I am well on adizem & flecanide

My cardiologist has recently put me on two types of diuretic Furosemide 20mg and Spironolactone 25mg She has also got rid of Wafarin which I have been taking for 10 years and put me on Apexiban and changed simvistatin to Lipitor 40mg I also take Adizem and Ramipril Whilst these seem to have deal

Summary-Diagnosed 14 months ago, 6 episodes since all cardioverted. Taking apixaban only, couldn't tolerate beta blocker, adizem lowered HR too much. On PFA list. Five out of six episodes of Afib on waking, the most recent being last Thursday, the sixth being the first, happened while exercising,unknowingly

I’ve been taking Rivaroxaban with Flecainide and Adizem for AFib. My hair has become noticeable thinner. My Consultant has just changed my Rivaroxaban to Apixaban which also has hair loss as a side effect. Does anyone have this problem and are you able to recommend anything to help? I’m 76 years old

I recently had the strength of my Adizem meditation increased from 120mg to 180mg daily as my BP was increasingly higher than usual. This medication was prescribed to control my blood pressure and help my heart rhythm. I have noticed I have mild swelling round my ankles and slight puffiness of my feet

I live in Jordan and have been on Dilzem for about 5 years. It’s the only medication which lowers my heart rate effectively. Am in permanent Afib. Lately, Dilzem is no longer available here and the agent advised that Pfizer stopped producing it . Just wondering if this is true .

Diagnosed first episode March 2023 after exercising with shingles( unknowingly)- had four episodes since waking in AF, (also had Gastric probs during this time) Cardioverted back each time. Currently on Ablation list and awaiting tests to see if I can take Flecainide PIP, intolerant to Beta, Blockers

Just a quick question. Does anyone have a metallic taste in their mouth after taking Edoxaban? It suits me to take the tablet before bedtime because I take Adizem in the morning to benefit me throughout the day. After taking Edoxaban in the evening, when I wake up in the night to make a bathroom call

Happy New Year everyone! Just wondering if anyone else has any side effects from Rivaroxaban? I'd been taking 20mg per day since 2017 with no noticeable side effects. I not only have AF but Bronchiectasis as well. Needed to put a sputum sample in for testing and carried this out in the usual way

HiBeen a while since I posted. AF episodes continued so was placed on waiting list for 2nd Ablation procedure which I had yesterday. I have been told all went well but post op notes are unclear so wondering if anyone can help understand it. Notes say: LA was small but had low voltage in it. Inducing

Wondered if anyone has had any experience or come across the following:- Just over six weeks since my (first) Ablation - l started with a AF episode (l had two within the first week) - it’s continued for over three weeks now, initially continuous for four days, then intermittent since , though the

am in permanent Af and take 190 mg Dilzem per day. Heart rate is controlled and hovers around sixties. My urologist prescribed Xartal an alpha blocker to manage my bladder muscle weakness which is causing urinary difficulties.

I was finally diagnosed with AF in June this year (2023) after 7 years of experiencing fluttering in my throat, occasional heart racing during the night and a feeling of occasional faintness during the day. Granted Covid put a stop to most hospital and GP visits so I soldiered on with concern which didn

I have recently been diagnosed with AF after suffering palpitations and unexplained fluttering in my throat since 2016. I have been treated for a number of years for hypertension. I’ve been prescribed Adizem (after a trial of Bisoprolol made me feel zombie-like) and Edoxaban and being reviewed in a couple

I take 50 mg Flecainide am and pm and am taking Adizem 120 slow release in the evening. Does anyone else have a problem with increased need to visit the loo in the evening or night time? From about 6 pm in the evening I'm frequently going to the toilet, I go before I go to bed, then by midnight(ish

Does anyone take these 2 drugs for blood pressure and Afib? I was on one 50mg Flecainide at night but due to increased episodes my dose has been increased by my Consultant to 50g morning and night with a 100mg pip. He also prescribed me 120mg Adizem slow release which I have been taking in the morning

I was told I can miss a day on Adizem and then take it at night Replacement for Bisoperol which I had to give up as I have got worsei i and2 other drugs I have tried …adizem don’t feeling well on either of them Help!

Hi - my GP prescribed Amlodipine 5mg one tablet per day for my high blood pressure. Only a couple of days later I saw my Consultant regarding my Afib who changed Amlodipine for Adizem 120mg once a day. I also take Flecainide 50mg twice a day for Afib. Does anyone else take Adizem and have any side

Afternoon, I've been on 50mg flecainide and 2.5mg bisoprolol twice daily, however due to cold extremities and in consultation with the cardiology depart we tried Adizem in February but after a few weeks that seemed to make things worse, and then switched to 3.25mg Carvedilol on 14th April. But like
