tiazac vs cardizem cd

Both Cardizem and Cardizem CD (a controlled release form of the drug) and there is Cardizem LA that is an extended release, once a day medication. Cardizem CD and Cardizem also used to treat high blood pressure. Thanks for your question. If you have any followup questions or comments you are welcome to respond. take care.

m experiencing is with my heart rate. since the ablation proceedure my heart rate elevated to 100-110 bpm. my EP prescribed cardizem cd and it is keeping it under control now. the side effects are what's causing me problems. my toes and lower legs are feeling numb. I tried metoprol and diovan hct and although by bp is in the normal range my heart rate is elevated unless I continue on the cardizem cd.

I tried taking Cardizem and had to stop. I had been given Cardizem instead of Norvasc for heart spasms. It was the long lasting Cardizem. I suffered through 12 hours of awful chest pains. I went back to the Norvasc. It just works better for me.

I went to My family physician and he was very concerned about my blood pressure which was 162/106 at the time of my visit with a heart rate of 129. He put me on Cardizem CD 180mg ER once a day at bedtime. I have taken two doses. My blood pressure is already coming down, but my pulse rate isn't thus far. I know it takes 7 to 10 days for the Cardizem to reach full affect, but I am wondering if the problem is the Toprol is still in my system. I took the Toprol for six months.

m about to start Cialis, so hopefully that will help regardless, but my cardiologist mentioned that I might try Cardizem. He was suggesting it had fewer sexual side effects. Maybe the Cialis will be enough to override any sexual side effects from the Metoprolol so I won't have to switch, but still curious whether I should ditch it for the Cardizem to at least try it. I don't have high blood pressure, just tachycardia and the metoprolol really helps keep that in check.

All of asudden my heart rate increased 108 to 112 resting. Had a nuclear stree test done results are normal. Doctor had already increased my Cardizem Cd to 360 in Am <180 at night. Heart rate was good for 2days ,around 80 . Yesterday I flt like my chest was going to explode. Took Maltha and 2 nitro, pain went away.. Many times a day I fel a chest discomfort that lasts for seconds,sometimes it feels like someone blew a bubble in my chest.

I have taken name brand Cardizem CD for years along with 3 other bp meds. The pharmacys here can't get the name brand Cardizem for some reason now so switched me to Cartia XT. I started this today early morning like I took the name brand. That was at 5;30 a.m. At 11 a.m. I took my bp and HR as I do daily. Its consistently around 110/70 with HR in upper 40s to low 50s. Never gets above 70 as EP wants it this way due to an autonomic dysfunction. It was 145/92 HR 64.

I take Cardizem CD 240 for my blood pressure. I have been on it for about 16 years. I have a slow resting heart rate to begin with as I was very athletic when I was younger. I was also an avid weightlifter. Anyway, I had ankle reconstruction surgery on 2/18/09 and have been confined to bedrest for quite sometime. I just started physical therapy and they are not doing anything except slight movement of my ankle right now.

My heart rate has been high and dr has been trying me on differnt meds to bring it down the last med was tiazac,,,,i stopped it on thursday last week,,,since then my heartrate has gone from the 70s to 100s but mostly staying in the 80s,and my blood pressure is fine im wondering would i need to still be on a medicine if my heart rate stays in the 80s, my dr gave me coreg to try because the tiazac made me so dizzy but since going off the tiazac things have calmed down,the nurse said if i went on t

ok they say I have PVCs i have no clue!!!! I stopped the tiazac after about 7 days and my blood pressure has gone lower than when i was on it and i am still very dizzy.........heart rate is in the 70s to 100s..My dr said go ahead and start the coreg,and to take it only when things are over a 100.Well my pharmasist told me that coreg is a drug that needs to be taken daiely not as needed so im so confused.

Two weeks ago my Cardio doctor changed my medication from Cardizem LA to Diltiazem CD. I know it's the generic brand of Cardizem. Anyway he raised my dosage from 240 mg. to 300 mg. For a whole week I had some terrible side effects. I blacked out once while sitting at my computer and then I came close to blacking out on a daily basis. I also felt off balance. I ended up going to my primary doctor, not for this, but for something else. I guess it was a follow up appointment.

Hi I was on Tiazac for about 6 ot 7 days and i skipped a few days of it,i have been feeling extremely dizzy and i saw my heart dr yesterday and he told me to stop the tiazac and he is puttting me on Coreg 6.

I was on tiazac 360mg for a couple of years for high blood pressure.I started having palpitations, skipped beats. The longer I was on it the worse it got. It finally got to where I was having some beats so strong and violent.I told my cardiologist and asked to change medication or a lower dose.He told me to go back to my family doctor who prescribed it originally. As it was 6 weeks to see him, I decided to stop the tiazac. After a few days the symptoms went away.

I have had a recent ankle reconstruction surgery that has had me confined to bed for sometime. I also take Cardizem CD for my high blood pressure. This medication slows the heart rate. That combined with the fact that I have a average resting heart rate of 60 to begin with has had my heart rate in the 40's for over 20 days. I am sure that when I'm asleep it must go into the 30's but I don't get affected by it except for fatigue.

I have high blood pressure and have been on Cardizem CD 240 and Hyzaar 100/12.5 for about 17 years. I also have mitral valve prolapse. My resting heart rate has always been around 60 even before medication as I was a weightlifter and football player when I was young. Since I have been confined to the bed from surgery my heart rate has been dropping into the 40's however my EKG is always normal other than the Bradycardia.

I am fairly convinced these are esophageal spasms wonder why we haven’t tried Muscle-relaxing drugs including nitrate medications, such as isosorbide (Isordil), nifedipine (Procardia), diltiazem (Cardizem, Tiazac, others) or dicyclomine (Bentyl). I also wonder about Hyoscyamine Sulfate and what about this Heller Myotomy surgery (I’m desperate). In December 2012, I had an EGD done and was told it looks excellent, no ill effects of the acid reflux disease and esophagus looks good.

After my second ablation I developed a rapid heart rate and high blood pressure for some reason. My EP prescribed cardizem cd and metoprolol and that brought it down to the 70-80 bpm and the bp in the normal range. talk to your cardiologist about trying other medications for your condition.

I seem to have developed a fast heart rate and high blood pressure though since the proceedure but I am controlling them with 360 mg of cardizem cd and 100 mg of metoprolol daily and I feel good. I've noticed that I'm also seeing hair loss since having the proceedure. Has anyone else experienced this kind of side effects after having cardiac ablation ?

they still can hurt you but you can jump on a medication that controlls even those.. like me.

She has not felt good basically the whole time since she started Cardizem and asked her cardiologist this month if she could stop the Cardizem. He told her to just stop taking it cold turkey and that they would have to work on regulating her blood pressure. How do you feel about stopping this medication after 17 yrs cold turkey? Will there be any serious complications. She is nervous but also wants to get off the cardizem and stay on the toperol.

I have a thyroglob ab test result of 2760 it gets higher each time and nothing is being done about it, I just had a pulse rate of 209 and was told that I had supraventricular tachycardia and they put me on cardizem 180 is this related to the elevated thyroglob, I don't know if I have Graves or hashimotos autoimmune no one will tell me anything.

I was Dx'd with SVT which is being well controlled with Cardizem CD. So far the moniter which i wore for 3 weeks shows no continuing SVT. ECHO Shows great looking heart. My SVT was just under 300bmp, which i hold the record for my hospitals highest HR. Cool? huh.. ouch. im 22 male. Question is, My doctor thinks i may also have IST. My resting heart rates very from 75-100 but for some reason after a small nap they will stay at 115-120. And when i eat even higher.

I have tried BB but too many side effects, and I am currently taking cardizem CD 180 mg (CCB). Typically my resting heart rate is between 95-110, but often just increases to 120's 140's. Oh, and I am a 40y.o female.

I am 45 andi have been taking cardizem 240 mg cd for 2 months. I had an episode of double vision, flushing, heart racing took me a few min to get my bearings together...is that a known side effect for this drug?
