BUT after two years on I devolved horrible led pain, trying removing other drugs on at a time even went off chemo for a while. Stopped the Cardizem and it went away in 4 days. Cardio MD just would not accept it, had to change cardio MD. Im sure its the chemo reacting with the Cardizem but I had to choose one drug, chemo was more important. Ace inhibitor works good so far. Maybe after two years I will have to change again. Good drug but not for me..

I have taken cardizem for years and as Iâ??ve aged it is not processed through liver as well. I have developed liver damage and the doctors are thinking it could be from long term use of diltiazem and other drugs prescribed.. I developed very low blood pressure and was having extremely irregular heartbeats, edema, heavy pulsating in my neck and pressure building in my neck and head...I have always been fatigued and tired and chalked it up to my blood pressure drugs... Dr. immediately took me off of diltiazem for hypotension.. I feel like a new person. I have energy, the edema is slowly dissapating, the pulsating in my neck and head pressure is totally gone.. I have actually slept better since Iâ??ve been taken off of this drug. I just think that because I have taken this drug for years and my Body has aged that it canâ??t process this drug though my liver anymore and because I have liver disease... it worked for me when I was younger, but had side effects that I wasnâ??t aware of that were most likely from diltiazem.
