Nothing: Calcium channel blockers are drugs that block entry of calcium ions into the cell which prevent generation of specific electrical current responsible for the arrhythmia . The calcium involve is an ion that naturally exist cellularly and has nothing to do with dietary calcium which circulates in the body bound to albumin

I take 12.5 mg of metoprolol for svt prevention/blood pressure. I was given a rx for hydroxyzine 10 mg for anxiety but read its unsafe for people with heart rhythm problems. Is the hydroxyzine safe if you have svt and are already on a beta blocker?
