Comment:
I take 120 mg at bedtime each day to treat high blood pressure, which is now under control. The reason I take it at bed-time is that I feel faint after I take is. In the mornings, I am light-headed and feel faint until about noon. It is way better than the Ace Inhibitors and the Valsartan I was taking previously, so for now I can put up with the lightheadedness.

Comment:
My doctor has me on cardizem and Rythmol for Atrial Fib. It has worked well but the side effects from the cardizem is awful. I have leg swelling and my legs feel heavy. Have a lot of joint and muscle pain. I am going to talk to my doctor to change the med. Too much pain.
