Adizem XL
Hi. I'm a newbie having been diagnosed with a fib/flutter in Nov. I saw my consultant today for the first time today and she's taken me off Bisprolol due to side effects (horrific nightmares) and prescribed Adizem XL. Having looked on line (as we all do these days!) they seem to potentially have worse

I'm supposed to reduce my
dilzem
. And double my ramipril to 5mg. And I have to say I feel better, over the last month. I even have energy again.

Early 40's BP
Hi, I am a bewildered 43 year old with high blood pressure and endometriosis (which is under control) , my BP, however is random and now worrying. Three years ago BP reared it's head again after a gap from meds due to pre eclampsia. This coincided with an emergency bowel resection required due to endo

Bisoporol and Adizem - Heart Rate and Palpitations
My AF journey started apparently in or around 2010 at which time I was woken with chest an jaw pain with a pulse rate of around 140BPM and blood pressure that could not really be measured, the episode lasted around 2-3 hours. At this point in time I had been on Bisoporol for around 3-4 years for nothing

Calcium Blockers, Nope don't seem to be working either!
I finally got to see the Cardiologist 3 weeks ago, after waiting 4 months for my first appointment, he agreed that Bisoporol was not agreeing with me so changed my medication to Adizem prolonged release, 180mg once a day. To be truthful I feel no better and having extreme fluctuations to my pulse rate

Stress and AF
I think it is this that has caused my relatively stable af (supported by
dilzem
, beta blockers and flecanide plus three ablations) to break down and all weekend I have struggled - mostly when I breath out the fluttering which feels like the sensation when you are very frightened but I am sure it is adrenaline

Nytol or equivalent (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) and AF
Does anyone have experience of using this over the counter sleeping aid and its potential effect, if any, on AF. I have no difficulty going to sleep, usually around 11 pm, but getting back to sleep after waking around 2 - 4am is not often possible. This happens most nights and means I get about 4-5 hours

Rituximab infusion went smoothly but tired! What's new !
So I went in at 9 am to the day unit , got a comfy chair and they checked my urine , took my monitoring bloods then started a steroid infusion. Then got paracetamol and Piriton also to reduce risks of reactions. I was also told in my case to take all my others tablets so; leflonamide, methotrexate,

Update post ablation
After ablation I had exercise fatigue and my GP suggested this could be due to Flecainide and
Dilzem
. The consultant thought this was possible. So after stopping the meds I went on two bike rides and have the feeling its going better.

Without Flecainide on holidays
Currently taking 100mg Fecainide and 120mg
Dilzem
per day. But I am on holiday and will be running out of stock soon. My return will be delayed because of a family bereavement. I'm wondering about the need and supply of this medication.

Generic Drugs
There was some discussion recently about different batches of drugs causing different side effects so I thought I would talk to my mate at the pharmacy when I collected my December party bag (Have you got yours organised?) . It seems that in MOST cases the manufacturer (generic or specific) makes no

Moan about ignorant medics
I am just going to tell you my medication saga but before I do I apologise to all the peeps who have much more to put up with. I just need to tell somebody who will understand my frustration! Earlier in the year I was prescribed 240mgs of diltiazem. The pharmacist provided Adizem. I hated it, felt awful

Hospital visit today
I've just returned from my visit to the Cardiology Department at my local hospital. At no time did I see a Cardiologist. A very lovely Nurse Practitioner took all my details and read my ECG print out and then trotted off to see the Consultant. She returned and offered me a cardioversion, but I would

Slow release diltiazem, Adizem versus Slozem etc
After seeing several posts referring to side effects from slow release diltiazem meds I thought it might be helpful to share this with you. I was prescribed 240mg of SL Diltiazem and was given Adizem for several cycles. I was not happy ( understatement! ) with the side effects and asked my GP to lower
