I've recently been prescribed Diltiazem XR 120mg for hypertension and angina. I understand it's a calcium channel blocker that helps by relaxing blood vessels, but I'm curious about others' experiences with this medication. I've read about the potential side effects, both urgent and common, but I'd love to hear real-life stories. Has anyone noticed any significant changes after starting this medication? Also, how do you manage any side effects like dizziness or headaches? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
