back to back? I have been taking a calcium channel blocker-diltyeizem for my tachycardia and high blood pressure and it is not really lowering either. My tachycardia is sometimes 150/60 and I am suppossed to start taking a beta blocker-nadolol 40 mg. My question is: wouldn't the CCB still be in my system while starting the beta blocker? I have been on it over 2 months and will start the beta blocker tomorrow. What can I expect, is that safe? Thanks to anyone who can advise. My heart rate is so rapid and I feel awful. I already tried a beta blocker-metaprolol before the CCB and didn't feel too great then either. I'm told these are the only 2 meds for inappropriate sinus tachycardia, which is what it is (supossed) to treat, even though it also (should) work for high blood presure. Thank you so much, sorry for some words spelled incorrectly, but I'm so nervous (suffer from anxiety too) and I hoped to get some feedback before I start on the beta blocker.
Thanks,
