While verapamil (Calaptin) helps manage symptoms, it is common to need adjustments. The good news is that there is a highly effective, long-term solution called catheter ablation. This is a safe, minimally invasive procedure that targets the precise area in your heart causing the fast signals, often curing PSVT permanently. I recommend discussing this option, or potentially adjusting your medication dose, with a cardiologist.

Your proactive approach is wonderful. Your new prescriptions, Liposem and Triglize, are designed to help lower lipids. However, because you also take verapamil (Calaptin 120 SR), naproxen, and Stilbid, we must be careful. Some cholesterol therapies and medications like Stilbid can interact, affecting how your body processes them. I highly recommend discussing these potential interactions with your doctor. Together, you can safely monitor your health while combining these treatments with heart-healthy lifestyle changes.

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.
