I've been prescribed Cardizem SR 60mg Capsules (Diltiazem) to manage my high blood pressure and irregular heart rhythms. The doctor said it would help relax my blood vessels and slow down my heart rate. However, I've been experiencing some side effects like dizziness and fatigue. I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences or if there are ways to mitigate these side effects without compromising the drug's effectiveness. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I've managed these issues with some lifestyle changes, but I thought I would ask: has anyone else had a similar experience? Has anyone else found lifestyle changes to be enough to mitigate the side effects? Or have you tried anything else?

I wonder if these are really that rare or if people just don't report side effects as much as they should over forums like this. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has unique information or advice to help me navigate the potential side effects of Diltiazem.
