During my episodes, I take 480 mg. of Verapamil a day and 4 oz. of prune juice with every meal or I eat prunes as snacks. Dried apricots also work for me and taste better than prunes.
I wonder why it is that docs don’t warn you about this side-effect of Verapamil. I had no idea what the problem was or the cure, until I happened to mention it to a buddy who takes Verapamil for high blood pressure.
