Diltiazem does that - it can make you feel dizzy, tired and give you a whopper of a headache. It took me about 2 weeks to adjust to the medication and another 2 weeks before the headache went away completely.
Any idea how long your flutter lasts? If it happens frequently and lasts for a half hour or so, you may need aspirin or some other blood thinner. That's something you should discuss with your doctor. It wouldn't hurt to ask.
