High BP, Heart Murmur, Taking Diltiazem 240 Mg. May I Go For Weight Loss Supplement?
I have high blood pressure and I take Diltiazem 240 mg, and I also have a heart murmur. My question is, can I take the weight loss supplement Garcinia Cambogia extract. It contains chromium, calcium and potassium and garcinia cambogia 1000 mg along with vegetable cellulose. Is this safe for me to take for weight loss? Would there be any side effects or long term effects? Thanks for your assistance.
