Heart Fibrilation.
UpdatedI have been taking Diltiazem 30 mg twice a day for over a year now for atrial fibrilation. when taken in the morning i become weak and dizzy, it impacts my bike ride severely and this has been getting worse over time, used to ride 3 x week 30 to 40 mi. now down to 20 2x week, when I skip it's better, HR 70/90. dr insist I continue same protocol, also take waterpills, furosemide 20 mg. and Klor-Con 20m to balance Magnesium.

Hello, Paul! How are you?
It's likely the Furosemide that's causing the problem, what you're describing are symptoms of dehydration. Diuretics lower blood pressure, but they do nothing for a-fib and if it's causing you to be dehydrated, your a-fib could actually be made worse.
Why does he have you on it?
Have you considered consulting another doctor for a second opinion? I think that would be a really good idea.
