I sometimes get "throbbing" in my fingers, usually at night when I go to bed. I don't know what this is, but my doctor said it might be because of my blood pressure medications. (I also use a calcium channel blocker-- not verapamil, but diltiazem). My hands tend to swell, and go back down alot. They are often worse in hot weather.

When I was briefly taking Imdur (a nitrate) I had the throbbing more often, since this dilates blood vessels, too.
