Recently Answered Questions on Verapamil

I have been taking Verapamil 40 mg 2 times a day for around 8 months (as a treatment of tachycardia and high blood pressure). But nowadays when I take the medicine I notice that my heartbeat becomes fast & experience palpitations, trouble thinking, sometimes slight breathing difficulty. Due to these recent side effects I can't take the medicine regularly like prescribed. But if I don’t take the medicine my blood pressure especially the diastolic pressure becomes high (diastolic goes over 95). Why are these new problems arising & what should I do about it? Is this serious?

Just to ask can I take Apaurin ( diazepam ) and Verapamil Alkaloid together ?

I am a Male/ 30 yrs old. I am a CLUSTER HEADACHE SUFFERER (Since April 2012). I am an Episodic. I've been on every preventive medication (Verapamil, Topomax), painkillers (Triptans), Oxygen therapy for the last 5 yrs. They all helped. But these headaches have stolen my life from me. I've had every possible side-effect these medications can bring on to a human body. Now, I'd like to know. If there is any treatment available for my condition in Ayurveda (Cluster Headache). With all due respect. Most Doctors and Neurologists don't understand what a Cluster Headache is....?? It's definitely not MIGRAINE.

I am feeling shortness of breath continuously for a long time and nearly everyday (feeling like I can't breathe deeply/fully, and as if air/gas is stuck inside my chest). Sometimes feeling dizziness and difficulty to concentrate. Previously I use to feel this only occasionally, usually during exercises or bad weather. But since last 1/2 months it is increasing and now I feel short of breath almost everyday, even when I am at rest and even when there are no triggers. It can be mentioned that I take verapamil 40 mg 3 times a day since last 3 months to keep tachycardia and hypertension in control.
