Do Diltiazem And Flecainide Cause Headaches?
I am taking Diatizem & flecainide for control of atrial fibrillation. I am having headaches which is like a tight vice like pressure. Acupuncture has eliminated the sharp stabbing pain on the right side which I was experiencing after starting these medications. Could this be a side effect of these medications? I also have cervical stiffness & pain.
