Weaning Off Diltiazem After Pericarditis & Cardiac Tamponade
UpdatedBefore the pericarditis, I had nothing wrong with my heart. It was contracted after a long viral infection that caused me to cough till I lost my breath.
During all tests my Troponin never elevated. My EF has remained normal.
Taking 120 diltiazem to control afib during a pericarditis effusion that went into cardiac tamponade without contributing to heart complications. My 47yoF heart is now back to normal after the removal of the fluid, and nearly two months of pericarditis. How can I wean myself off of the diltiazem as it is causing low bp, low energy, vision changes among other issues?
