That makes a lot of sense to me. How long did it take you to feel the affect of the Camzyos? Did you have any side effects?

Thanks so much for responding.

That is a good question. I think Camzyos starts working very quickly. Within the first week I felt I was handling hills and the stairs a bit better. Two weeks I definitely felt that it was working and each successive week there has been progress. It has been exactly one month and I am back to my morning walk (2.5 - 3+ miles) at a very good pace and able to walk up hills without slowing down or stopping. I can go up and down stairs all day long. However, after two weeks I started to feel tired to the point of feeling like I needed a nap in the early afternoon. I have only been on it for a month and my dose has just been changed from 5 mg to 2.5 mg which is probably a good idea. The Verapamil that I was on has the same drug interaction concerns as your Diltiazem.
