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.
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I have spinal hyprotopic cardiomyopathy and take verapamil slow release 120mg. Lately I feel slightly dizzy and as though my heart beats to slow around 55 beats per minute. Is this normal and can u get side effects from this drug even when you have been taking it for a couple of years?
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that it’s recommended for you to get an ECG and echocardiography done and decrease the dose of verapamil, after consulting your treating cardiologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
