Thank you @nbs. I recall you had to get off Verapamil two weeks before starting Camzyos. It was one of the reasons I questioned taking Diltiazem. They are both calcium blockers and on the BMS list of “usually not recommended”.

Metoprolol is a beta blocker and is not on the BMS list. My cardologist mentioned putting me on a low dose since my heart rate and blood pressure are both up.

One more thing-my BP has been up lately as well, so my dr. put me on a BP patch called Clonidine and I am on Pantoprazole, for acid reflux from an ulcer which I no longer have-which am going to be weening off. My primary care and the specialty pharmacist said to go ahead and get off of it and see how I do. I want to get off as many meds as I can! I feel like a walking pharmacy! 🙂
