20 years of hypertension here, and 3 years of remission from CH.
In these last 3 years I took Verapamil 2 times (6 months each) at a 240 mg/day dosage.
Thanking God.... still no CH.
But I understand perfectly what you feel.
The problem is that Verapamil is the best Anti-hypertension med for light high pressure AND bad blips . I think your doc insist on Verapamil for this meaning (one med for two probs, and few side effects)
In your shoes, I will take it. If the beast returns, it will not be this the cause.
Anyway, if you are scared, I suggest you to ask to your doc if he can give you a pair of meds instead of Verapamil.
