"I'm 31 years old and have started having high blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide didn't work. After seeing the cardiologist, I started diltiazem 24 hr ER 120 mg cap for high blood pressure and angina. I feel like it worked instantly. On my third dose, I checked my blood pressure and it was lower. It was still at risk, but it was much lower, and my pulse was normal. I do feel slightly dizzy for a split second. I don't feel tired, and I drive all day with it. I have had a loss of appetite, but I think that's a good thing so I can get this weight off. I'm using this medicine along with diet and slow-paced exercise. This is day four, and I still have a slight chest pain for a second once or twice a day, but I know it's working because I feel better."

"I have taken diltiazem for the past week for blood pressure and angina issues (pain in my chest). It has worked wonders; however, it does make you rather dizzy at times. I take this with Plavix as my cardiologist recommended."

"I have been on this drug for 3 weeks. My reflux has been getting worse. I am back to the doctor on Monday, I think I will need to go back to the cardiologist, as I am missing my left coronary artery and only have my right one supporting me. I had been getting chest pain, and after the angiogram, I was started on this. Thankfully, I do not have any blockage but need to protect the one artery that I have."

Diltiazem "The first three days on this med 120 mg, I was fine. The fourth day, I started shaking out of control. Blood pressure dipped to 92 over 63, and pulse increased to 120 beats. I stopped taking this med today. I also had terrible pain in my back and abdomen. I still feel very shaky. I'm wondering how long it takes to rid my system... Awful drug for me anyway."
