.....Hey, Fat Head... I luv ya .......but ya know WHAT? Maybe they never steered ya right, but that is not a med that you can go on and off....guess what the side effect is?!? chest paIN. pALEEZE...NEVER FEEL LIKE A WUSS......THINK OF YOURSELF AS PRAGRAMIC!!!! ok? btw i GET ALL CONFUSED WITH THE cAPITALS AND MY NEW and touchy computer....please over look this. Mama

BTW....I hope this did not play havoc with your libido....believe me...it is only temporary

Those were the doctor's orders: if you have a day when the arrhythmia kicks in and won't settle down, pop a pill. I did record 2 juicy times of arrhythmia and chest pain when I last had the monitor but he decided the pain was not cardiac in nature, even though he hadn't seen the results yet. And this was before starting the Diltiazem.

I don't know. It's dangerous to self diagnose but I'm guessing the pains may be vasospasms. And Diltiazem helps those as well as my Raynauds (also a type of vasospasm). So I'm killing 2 birds with one stone.

My libido went some place else. That's another story not for mixed company.

I guess that is the latest thing....the pill in pocket treatment. My daughter weaned herself off of her meds that she was taking daily for her tachy.....she was monitored, and it took 2 weeks. now she has the meds in her purse, and the doctors cell phone number as well. I think he thinks she gets panic like symptoms. Anyway, I am glad you are feeling better! :)
