Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Since you miss your treatment (diltiazem) for 5 days now, you shouldn't worry about withdrawal symptoms.
After five days there's no risk for withdrawal symptoms. Patients who stop diltiazem may experience tachycardia and palpitations 24-48 hours after quiting treatment.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
