Questions about Calcium Channel Blockers

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if any of you are on calcium channel blockers? If so what one

are you on? And for what reason are you on the calcium channel blocker?

My tachycardia is becoming more of a problem and so is my SOB.My 30 day heart

event monitor also showed sinus tachycardia and narrow complex tachycardia. My

PCP wants to put me on a calcium channel blocker and has recommended Cardizem

CD.

I am wondering if it is a safe drug to use if you have a Mitochondrial Disease,

does anyone know?

And yes I have a confirmed diagnosis of Mitochondrial disease, MELAS variant.

Thanks

Hugs,

Ann-Marie
