Possible swelling of the vocal cords , related to taking diltiazem
Has anyone suffered swelling of the vocal cords due to taking diltiazem? I've been to the emergency room, the doctor said it could be due to past smoking habits, current chewing tobacco habits, and he left, the nurse said I needed to take it up with my heart doctor, the recommendation was to see ear nose and throat doctor, I can't just suddenly stop taking diltiazem, thank you

Are you on Eliquis?
Acid reflux and GI issues can cause those problems . Yes go to an ENT. He’s the one that told me about the Eliquis adverse reactions and the GI, reflux and sinus, fatigue, and confusion issues.
