What clinical evaluation and management steps are recommended for a patient with a 12-year history of chronic heart disease who is experiencing breakthrough, squeezing chest pain while prescribed Calaptin (verapamil) 40 mg?

Because you are having breakthrough pain while taking Calaptin (verapamil), it is very important that you seek immediate medical evaluation. Please go to the nearest emergency room or contact your cardiologist right away. They will likely perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) and check your heart enzymes to see how your heart is doing. Your doctor may need to adjust your verapamil dose or explore other treatments to ensure your heart is well-protected and you feel comfortable.
