Has anyone taken Diltiazem ER 120mg Tablets (la 24h) and experienced any of the listed side effects?
I've been prescribed Diltiazem ER 120mg Tablets (la 24h) for my high blood pressure, and I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects. The list is quite extensive, and I'm wondering if anyone else has taken this medication and can share their experiences. I'm particularly concerned about the urgent side effects like allergic reactions and liver problems. Has anyone encountered these or other severe side effects? How did you manage them? Also, what about the more common side effects like headaches or dizziness? Were they manageable, or did they significantly impact your daily life? Any advice on how to cope with these side effects would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I'm prepared before starting this medication.
I take Diltiazem ER 120mg for my heart condition. The first few weeks were rough with dizziness, but after a while, I adjusted to it. There are a few tips that helped manage the dizziness. I would definitely drink more fluids throughout the day, go to the gym to get in shape and also avoid standing up too quickly. I've been doing great after a few months. Keep a journal, and make sure to tell your doctor about any side effects you encounter.
I had a severe reaction to Diltiazem a while back. It was terrifying. I ended up with a rash all over my body, and I had trouble breathing. I had to go to the ER, and they switched me to a different medication. Be careful and keep an eye out for any signs of an allergic reaction.
I think it's important to remember that everyone's body reacts differently to medications. What might be a severe side effect for one person could be mild for another. Trust your body and your doctor, and don't be afraid to advocate for yourself if you're experiencing something that feels off.
Be careful with Diltiazem if you have a history of heart failure. My dad had a really rough time with it. He had shortness of breath and severe swelling in his legs. He had to switch to a different medication. Still not sure if it was worth it
If you experience any of the urgent side effects, don't hesitate to go to the ER. It's better to be safe and get immediate attention if you're having trouble breathing or if you notice any signs of an allergic reaction. Plus, I agree with the comment above, document every side effect and tell your doctor. I had to switch meds.
I've been on Diltiazem ER for a few months now, and I haven't experienced any of the severe side effects. Just the occasional headache, but ibuprofen takes care of it. Fingers crossed it stays that way!
I've been on this medication for a while, and I haven't had any major issues. Just a bit of dizziness sometimes, but it's manageable. Keep track of your side effects and talk to your doctor if you have any concerns. You can also report any side effects to the FDA if you want. Just saying why not report it.
I actually switched to a different pill instead of taking Diltiazem ER. I'm pretty sensitive to side effects, even the mild ones, and I wanted to avoid any potential issues. Thanks for the information though
I hope you have a good experience with Diltiazem! Keep an eye on the side effects, and don't hesitate to call your doctor if you have any questions. It is better to be safe and get help if you need it
I get headaches with Diltiazem but nothing I can't handle. The medication is working well for managing my blood pressure overall.
