"I am on diltiazem CD 120 from August 2011 after diagnosed with PSVT. It control my anxiety, SVT episode but I think it also have side effect which I start experience now. My migraine attacks are increased now, as it is calcium channel blocker it also effect my joints. It cause osteoarthritis like symptoms in joints in the age just 36. I want to stop this medicine but I don't what are alternatives and what side effects other medicine have. My doctors say from day one that go for radio frequency ablation but i also have doubts about that procedure also. Thanks"

"I started this medication a few days ago for SVT. I haven’t had an “episode” but it doesn’t seem to keep my heart rate down. Still in the 90-100s even at rest. I take 120mg every 24hr. No concerning side effects that I’ve noticed yet, maybe increased urination? Could be unrelated though. Very very mild dizziness. I’ve noticed dryness in my nose but I’m also getting over Covid. Im not sure if this is the right Med for me. If it can’t keep my HR down I don’t see the point in taking it."
