A member asked:
Is it possible for diltiazem to be used for the treatment of chronic anxiety physical symptoms even if the heart is fine other than ectopics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No because: The main neurochemical system for anxiety is serotonin. If you are looking to relax muscle and make it work more efficiently, ask your doctor about magnesium supplementation as there is such medical evidence for this on skeletal muscle and protective properties for heart muscle. Diltiazem, a ccb, works on smooth cardiac muscle. Take care.
