Dear Paul,
I assume you mean Verelan (verapamil)which is a calcium channel blocker drug used for high blood pressure. While it is possible that your symptoms are caused by acid reflux I couldn't find any information in the literature about verapamil contributing to reflux. The effects of verapamil are more on the blood vessels than on the muscles of the esophagus. Verapamil can cause constipation in < 9% of patients and nausea, dyspepsia and abdominal discomfort in less than 3% of patients.
Be sure your doctors have ruled out heart problems with a good stress test. If that was negative then the endoscopy is probably a good idea. Best wishes.
Thanks for the reply!
I did have a stress test, Ekg, etc. Everything was fine!
I will have an endo in about 3 weeks, what else could my problem be? is an ulcer possible? my symptoms are in my chest and throat, it doesn't seem to be Classic symptoms for an ulcer such as pain on empty stomach in abdomen etc.(or should I check with the gastro forum?)
Thank you for responding
Paul
