Question: Hello. I am an RN who is very medication sensitive. At a very stressful point 3 years ago, I went into atrial fibrillation. The cardiologist started me on an extremely high dose of Cardizem. At that point the fatigue and interstitial fluid problems must have been massive, because I had to stop and sit in the University of Maryland due to the LE edema. When given Lasix by my PCP- I lost over 10 lbs of water weight. Recently I concluded, due to my extreme reaction to diltazem that I was not only having peripheral edema but pre-sacral edema(confirmed by my PCP) and possibly edema of other soft tissues and the thoracic cavity. This ideation occurred due to my inability to consume any AMOUNT of food; turns out that since stopping Cardizem I can eat normally again without vomiting or fullness. ( possible diaphragmatic edema). I am very accustomed to the disbelief of physicians; in 1994 I took an asthma inhaler from which less than 1 percent of patients experienced vertigo- guess who almost fell into a bedside commode headfirst? Recently, I had given up feeling healthy and well ever again. I spent a day in bed while on vacation- rid myself of all extraneous fluids, and felt 20 years younger. I felt healthy again. ( Strong hx of healthy exercise, weight-lifting and cardio more than 6 hours weekly, haha too tired from medicine now.) I am currently on Digoxin- ( I have asthma, so no beta blockers), and off Cardizem x 2 weeks. I am considering ablation- hx of possible congenital anomaly too long for online ( "hearing something in my heart since age 18). I would sincerely appreciate ANYONE telling me I am not crazy since I feel more youthful, energetic, vibrant, and well since I was first put on the CARDIZEM in 2013. Please help me.
