Muscle Weakness From Dilitiazem

My caridologist just prescribed Dilitiazem for tachycardia and I have taken just two doses. This morning on my morning walk I had difficulty climbing a hill that I have climbed daily for the last five years. I know this is from the Dilitiazem. My question is will this weakness go away with continued use or will the weakness increase?

You should call your cardiologist and consult with them about it.

While it may be just a side effect, there is also a chance that it could be due to other problems or complications and it's best to discover which it is, before proceeding with any course of action.

Have things improved, any?
