PLEASE HELP!

[Kelly470]

I have been having chest pain, palpitations, neck pain, jaw pain, weakness in legs, headache & dizziness. I have a pacemaker b/c I have complete heart block. Pacemaker is working ok. I went to ER last night...they did bloodwork, chest x-ray & EKG...kept me for overnight observation & said I was fine. I DON'T FEEL FINE!. I'm exhausted all the time....have appt w/ cardiologist that i can't get moved up b/c she's so booked. Her office tells me to go to ER is symptoms get worse WHICH I DID...then ER tells me to go back & see cardiologist. I'm also on 240 mg of Cardizem. I'm tired of feeling this way w/ no answers. Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks!

Yes, I tried to take Cardizem and stopped after only 1 dose.  I thought I would die from the symptoms.  Had the most awful chest discomfort for 12 hours.  I went back to taking Norvasc.  I seemed to do better with Norvasc. Take care and keep after them for an answer. Ally

They said I'm being paced 99.9% of the time. Medtronic is the manufacturer. Last time I had my pacemaker checked (a few weeks ago) they said it was working fine...so is it normal to have these symptoms while on Cardizem?

Some of your symptoms can occur when taking Cardizem.

Did the doctors tell you if your pacer was working 100% of the time?  Was the manufacturer of the pacer notified of your symptoms?
