Diltiazem - Sinus Issues
UpdatedI have been on Diltiazem for two months and my sinuses are dried up and I am totally stuffed up all the time. Could this be a side affect of taking this drug. I have tried everything else to figure out why this is happening (Catscan, etc) without success.

Yes, congestion can be a side effect of most of these types of medications that are used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac issues.
The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.
Have you tried anything to clear up the congestion? I've found that Mucinex sometimes helps, you may want to ask your doctor about trying it.
