Dilzem (diltiazem) is prescribed to calm a fluttering heart, but it can sometimes slow your heart rate down too much, leading to these sensations of pauses or skipped beats. While this is a known side effect, it is important to contact your prescribing doctor promptly so they can monitor your heart rhythm and adjust your medication if needed. If you experience dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain, please seek medical attention right away.
