tambocor and diazepam

Posted By bob on June 15, 1999 at 11:50:29
hello doctors, I am on Tambocor (100mg BID) for chronic PAC's and PSVT (otherwise 25 yo healthy male).  The medication works 16 hours out of the day completely but my EP doc wants to increase the med by another 100mg/d (for a total of 300mg/d) so it works 24 hours out of the day.  Each time my Tambocor has been increased I get a stress test done because my doc said the higher dose may cause widening of the qrs interval which can lead to v tach.  I'm claustrophobic and he prescribed my diazepam (5-10mg) to take before the test to relax me.  My questions are:  1. is it ok to take diazepam with tambocor?  2.  Will the diazepam have any effect on my EKG since it works to relax muscles?  The pharmicist said to ask my doctor but he hasn't returned my calls.  thank you very much.
