I get nifedipine from my rheumy for raynauds. should i tell my cardiologist/ep about it? will nifedipine change the way my pacemaker behave?

You should share: your medication history with all of your health care providers regardless of who gives you the drugs. Of course tell your cardiologist/EP. Nifedipine will have NO affect on your pacemaker or its function.
