yes, this medication has lowered my BP and I have has no further episodes of racing heart. However, the swelling of my feet is severe, causing discomfort. Really find this side effect life changing and worrisome.

I have been taking Cardizem for about nine months. At first, it was fine. Now I am dizzy, occasionally nauseated, lethargic, have ringing in my ears and flushing. The dizziness is the worst and the feeling I have no pep whatsoever. My urine is a odd greenish shade...

I have been on Cardizem for about 2months for high BP, fast heart rate and palpations. I haven't noticed a big difference at all my BP is still 140/90 to 145/100. Still having palpations too. My doctor also prescribed me Metoprolol. I have heard I should not take a calcium channel blocker with a beta blocker but my doctor says it is ok...still no decrease in symptoms.

Although it is a once a day medication, it has failed to drop my BP even ten points, high or low.
