Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I started taking Diltiazem for atrial fibrillation about a month ago. I find I am intolerant, impatient and uninterested in what people say to me. I have considered quitting several activities I have been involved with because I find the conversations and opinions of others annoying. Is this related to diltiazem?
Your symptoms are suggestive of mild mental depression of recent onset and, unrelated to Diltiazem.
A regular course of anti-depressants will restore your mood to normalcy.
Consult your Psychiatrist and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and will prescribe the advised drugs in appropriate doses.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
