Susanml, How are your symptoms taking Diltiazen (Cardizem) and Candesartan? My doc is wanting to put me on a BP med since taking me off Metoprolol my BP has gone up too high 170s and 180s. I see Boats4life is on Cardizem, too, and no side effects. Side effects are what I'm worried about. I'm on 5mg Camzyos since Monday. I'm getting some symptoms of SOB, light headed woozy feelings, and they seem to go away in the evening. But I'm wondering if my BP is contributing- the Metoprolol kept me in the 145/150 area which isn't the greatest but not as worrisome as BP now. There were moments where I could feel Camzyos was giving me a positive effect, but as it builds up in my system, I feel like symptoms are getting worse and can't differentiate between Camzyos or high BP.

I’ve had no adverse effects on diltiazen and candesartan ( 24mg) though I can sleep like a log for 10 + hours. Not sure if that’s a symptom of the drugs or that I just like to sleep! My BP is about 140-150. Bit high I know but when candesartan is increased then it goes too far down. Happy on the 5mg of Camzyos. I too wish I understood the correlation between HCM and BP. Best wishes
