I recently had an episode of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and was given Diltiazem 50mg/10ml Inj via IV. It really helped control my heart rate, but I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects. I've heard it can cause some pretty serious issues. Has anyone else had experience with this medication, especially with the IV form? I'd love to hear about your experiences and any advice you might have.

Hey everyone, I was recently prescribed Betapace AF 80mg for my atrial fibrillation. My doctor said it would help regulate my heart rhythm, but I'm nervous about the side effects and how it will affect me overall. Has anyone else taken this medication? I'd love to hear about your experiences, any tips for managing side effects, and if you had any issues with it. I'm especially concerned about the severe side effects, like allergic reactions or worsening heart issues, so any insights on those would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
