I diagnosed myself with prinzmetal's although it is not recognized here in
the UK.

I saw my consultant and I went onto diltiazem 180gm slow release twice a
day, now most pain and bad symptoms are gone.....

.....so far

A betablocker would be a worse choice.

First line would be verapamil, which is a different calcium channel blocker.

Would suggest that your friend speak directly with his/her prescribing doctor if s/he has any concerns about this.

Please ignore the bad behavior of those creatures of darkness that are reacting adversely to the light of the truth, Who is LORD Jesus Christ, emanating forth from what the Holy Spirit guides me to write and post here in sci.med.cardiology and other usenet newsgroups.

May you and other dear neighbors, friends, and brethren have a blessedly wonderful 2008th year since the birth of our LORD Jesus Christ as our Messiah, the Son of Man ...

.. by being hungrier:

Hunger is wonderful:

It's how we know what GOD desires, which is all that is good.

Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve paid for with their and our immortal lives.

Those who suffer from the powerful delusion predicted by the prophecy of 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 would deny this and perish ( gone !!! ) forever ...

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed:

"Blessed are you who hunger NOW...

.. for you will be satisfied." -- LORD Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)

Amen.
