hello
thanks for posting here.
going by your description, you seem to have vasospastic angina or prinzmetal angina or variant angina. in which your arteries go into spasm. for the same you are on diltiazem. it will prevent the spasm from occurring further. it usually will not cause you time to time discomfort. check your BP and pulse when you are feeling discomfort.
you have to be on diltiazem to prevent spasm
thank you
