What Causes Pain In Left Arm And Numbness In Fingers While On Verapamil?

I have been taking verapamil for 4 days the first dosage was 120 mg 3 times a day which really messed up my mind. It was then changed to 120 mg time released 1 times a day. I took the second one of the dosage this morning. Two hours later I developed a ache in my left arm that continued down to my hand and felt like ciculation was affected and a small amount of numbness in my fingers. This started 6 hrs. ago and have some aching in the calf of my left leg. The ach in my arm is worse. I have taken 2-220 tablets of naproxen with little or no relief. Could this be due to the verapamil? YYYY@YYYY

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Verapamil does not cause any muscular pain or what the symptoms you have stated here but your symptoms could be due to some muscular spasm and most of the time it is nonspecific, just no need to worry about this condition can be managed symptomatically, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
