Avatar f tn I am having anal fissure I used diltiazem gel for 2 days but then I realised that my urine, water and even my fingers hurts near my vagina lips. I feel hell fire pain.Lateron i realized that my skin is cut and there is acne typ on other side but its uper skin is vanished. I think that this gel hurts me because when I put it first day I apply it widely.
Avatar m tn On a separate note, I suffered from anal fissures for 3 years, horrendously painful, like someone shoving a knife up your bum ever time you go for a poo - **** the GTN, go for the diltiazem hydrochloride 2%. I mean, it didn't work for me overall and rid me of the fissures but my bum was very tight and needed surgery. Just don't suffer with it! And also if it happened as a result of anal sex don't beat yourself up about it, no matter what your past you have a spotless future.
Avatar n tn Thank you for your suggestions. I'm using a compound prescription called Diltiazem 2% Gel. It's supposed to help heal anal fissures. It seems to have helped some---but not enough that I'm completely without pain. My doctor said to give it 4-6 weeks to help heal the fissure. Do you know if a small fissure has to be surgically sutured or can it be carterized?
Avatar n tn I am kinda scared my dad told me that its probly herromohids but im not sure i think it might be anal fissures cause i have been feeling kinda constipuated.. i am concernd on whats going on with me soo any feed back i would really appericate.. thank you.
Avatar f tn He checked me for hemorrhoids, said it was ok and prescribed me a gel that stops pain and heals fissures. Now the glassy pain is gone, leaving only the dull pain somewhere deeper. I just wonder if it is just the fissures or could it be some kind of deeper injury he couldn`t feel by just touching.
Avatar m tn Nearly 3 years back I started having lot of itching in my anus, as a result started bleeding a little while passing. I went for a colonoscopy which confirmed small anal fissures. My gastroenterologist said nothing serious to worry about and gave some ointments and pain killers expecting it will go. Though the pain and itching subsided, while whipping with toilet papers, sometimes I noticed blood and pain, but I no longer bleed these days.
177337 tn?1310059899 I have Diltiazem for that reason. When I'm having a bratty heart day with lots of tachy and chest pain, I use one of those to calm things down. It's not quick like taking an aspirin for a headache but it does help. The only down side is Diltiazem gives me a wicked headache. If I took it every day like I used to, that side effect would wear off in a couple of weeks. Still, I'd rather just take it when I have to and deal with the headache. At least it calms my heart.
Avatar n tn I am currently on 30 mg of diltiazem 3x day and i was wondering how effective is this dose at bring down your blood pressure. and how much would it bring it down. a rough estimate would be great. for i am hoping to come off of this medicine.
Avatar m tn The itching comes from the inside of the anus not to far in about half an inch i have applied some aloe vera gel and it seems to get better for a short time, same as wipping with baby wipes. Any ideas on what this is and if it will ever go away would be greatly appreciated. Sometimes there is bright red blood on the toliet paper after a bowelmovement thought i should mentionthat as well.
Avatar m tn My heart rate was the only reason my doctor gave me for taking the diltiazem. After an ECG, was diagnosed with MVP, this diagnosis was given more than a month after the ER visit and I was already on the DIltiazen, but I just recently read that Diltiazem was a treatment used for MVP and arrythmia. THAT connection was never made even though we talked about it, independent of the rapid heart rate. .Did I misinterpret what I read? I stopped taking the DIltiazem because I had a low to normal rate.
1622431 tn?1299070442 taking Diltiazem for 2 months , treating PACs and SVT episodes. Could not tolerate Beta Blockers. Diltiazem tries its best with SVT, shortens them , but my PACs increased the past two days , every second heart beat is double . Could not tolerate , went to Hospital, they advised to take metoprolol to break the PACs cycle.
Avatar f tn Both have come back negative HOWEVER I got a blood test done within the past few weeks as well, which came back positive for HSV-1 and negative for HSV-2. The reason I am writing my (lengthy, sorry!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn m a 20 years old male and i have been having what best could be explained by having pointy stools. As weird as it may sound i have been having pointy stools for the past 4-5 days. The sharp stools kind of cut my skin and its really painful. The stool itself is not hard and it easily comes out so it doesnt feel like im constipated. Its just the beginning of the stool that hurts when coming out.
Avatar n tn When I first started Diltiazem I had a powerful throbbing headache for a few weeks. It gradually tapered off. I was a bit tired too. After I'd been on it for a few months my BP would have low times (systolic in the 90's). I was a slug when my bp dropped that low. But thank goodness it wasn't that low all the time. It sure helped with the tachy times and chest pain though.
Avatar n tn I never have in past had problems. have had sores in mouth for 9 weeks, been on antivirals for 9 weeks because I want to be, scared herpes but all cultures are negative with mouth sores and genitally, I am waiting for an igg to come back, was with a new man, who is waiting herpes results for 2, I am positive for 1 with igg in past. I did test 10 days after we were together. been to dermatlogist and all say herpes in mouth doesn't last 9 weeks. what about the bumps on my wrist.
Avatar m tn I can usually control my PACs/PVCs through diet but when I stray and they flare up, calcium channel blockers (diltiazem) work like a charm. It makes them completely go away until it wears off which is about 24 hours (extended release 240), Just curious if anyone knows why doctors do not prescribe these to more patients for PAC/PVC because they seem to work.
Avatar f tn I've been having blood on the toilet paper for a few weeks now (it's actually been like 8 months), but the bleeding comes and goes. So I sought out a proctologist and she said I have cuts & anal fissures. I just saw her last Tuesday and showed her an area that would bleed every time I had a stool or examined it. She said it was a fissure and gave me meds. I went to my primary doctor on Friday to see if it was healing, but he wasn't there so I saw someone else.
Avatar n tn t get any responses here, but from googling around on the web I came to the conclusion that diltiazem, a calcium channel blocker, would be better for an athlete than atenolol, a beta blocker. So I called the doctor who agreed to change my medication. Yesterday on the treadmill, after having only taken one 25mg dose of atenolol my heart rate only showed a bit over 120 when I was doing a pace for which a 140 should have been called for.
Avatar f tn I had been taking it for 6 months. Not for chest pain but for Raynaud syndrome. I have been off for 12 days. I am a little light headed. The Dr says its sick sinus syndrome and I am scheduled for a pacemaker tomorrow. I am last minute looking for anything else this can be maybe causing a temporary slow heat rate. It was only detected 4 weeks ago.
Avatar f tn m a female, but I can share my experience switching from a beta blocker to diltiazem. I have been taking beta blockers for 8 years for SVT and afib. I had an episode of afib and was in the hospital is Sept. They took me off the beta blocker and put me on diltiazem. It didn't control my heart rate like the beta blocker. My resting heart rate went from upper 60s to the low 80s. After a few days without my beta blocker, I ended up in the ER, in sinus tachycardia with a rate of about 120.
996946 tn?1503249112 How are you? I took Diltiazem too. Not good for me either.
Avatar f tn I had afib for a decade and have taken diltiazem and flecainide over that period with pretty good control of symptoms. But now daily pvcs for past 6 weeks, almost always at night. Monitoring with Kardia device. Curious if others have experienced similar association of arrythmias?
Avatar f tn If one never had swollen gums after taking Diltiazem Hydrochloride Extended-release Capsules USP for years and then suddenly has swollen gums (no redness or infection) could the Diltiazem suddenly cause this after getting a "deep cleaning" of the teeth, or 'probing for pocket depths' at a dentist?
Avatar m tn I had a brief bout of A-Fib, and the ER put me on 15mg Diltiazem every 6 hrs. My physician a couple of days later bumped that up to 30mg/6hrs. Around a week into taking the drug, I lost most of the sense of taste; sweet, sour, salt. Initially I just had a tiny sense of "savory" as the only thing I could taste. I began to not be able to eat, because everything made me sick to my stomach. I read in the Diltiazem side-effects that this is called "taste perversion".
