If you miss a dose of Nitroglycerin Patch, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once. When used for long periods of time without a break, some people develop a physical need to continue taking Nitroglycerin Patch. This is known as physical DEPENDENCE. Do not suddenly stop taking Nitroglycerin Patch without your doctor's approval.
I still had stable angina every time I did some for of cardio activity or is I ate something with sodium. I started using Nitroglycerin patches and even have the pills just in case my angina episode occurs.
I had a date and I read online that you can't take viagra and any nitrates cause it can drop your blood pressure really low. So I stopped using my nitroglycerin for about 48 hours so I can take the Viagra.
I have been prescribed Coumadin and have been reading about this drug on the internet and every site I've visited says a medical alert bracelet is essential. Unfortunately, in the country in which I'm currently living, pharmacists seem to think it's completely unnescessary. Who's right?
ed is correct nitro dilates vessels.
I take a nitrate (isosorbide) for more than 6 years 3 times before going to gym for workout. My blood pressure does not drop between intervals...in fact I was told to have intervals of nitrate free period. It is true, nitro dilates the coronary vessels and prevents angina (chest pain). The patch should only be worn for up to 12 to 14 hours a day, or as directed by your doctor, but continued use with no interruptions can cause a tolerance for drug....
I only take isosorbide prior to a workout, and nitro when engaged in an activity that brings on angina. I understand your doctors are suggesting taking isosorbide daily as aschemia does not always produce angina even though the heart cells are not getting sufficient blood supply. This can lead to a silent heart attack so the medication is recommended continuously whether there is angina or not and older people in general are likely to have a silent heart attack.
I have a situation. My 11 yr old hangs out with a very unsupervised 12 yr old. I have taken this 12 yr old friend into my home, fed him, clothed him, taken him to movies. I recently realized i was missing a bracelet from my jewelry box. It was brand new, never worn, moderately pricey. Now, this pass wk/e i took my 11 yr old son Sam with this 12 yr old to a movie and out for ice cream.
The pain lasts anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. I have been prescribed nitroglycerin to take as needed for chest pain and this medicine surely helps. I've had several EKGs and cardiac enzymes done which were all normal. I also had a threadmill/stress test done which was normal. My cardiologist thinks the the probability of me having an occluded/blocked coronary artery is very low.
Well this blows.. failed a pee test for court now got this huge bracelet on my leg letting the whole world know I'm an alcoholic n it ***** cuz this is me n my hubby anniversary weekend n now I got this crap on my leg can't go swimming in the ocean now. I'm such q dumb ***.
I had an unprotected oral sex with a prostitute while she was wearing bracelet . Is there any possibility that she could transfer HIV to me or any other STDs?

Looking anxiously for your kind response!
Even though it hasnt been long to be diagnosed my mother has wanted me to get a MED ID bracelet to let people know that I had syncope issues but now that we know it is POTs also. In addition to that diagnosis I also have ASD, Autism Spectum Disorder, Aspergers syndrome. I dont want to have a med ID because I feel like im telling the world that im screwed up.
The doctor said the left heart was okay but found a narrowing in the right heart which caused coronary spasms during the test. IV nitroglycerin during the test stopped the spasms and dilated the vessel. He did not mention any other problems and recommended sublingual nitroglycerin to treat the spasms as they occur.

I've never heard of nitroglycerin being used to treat migraine, but glad that it worked.
But if it keeps on, and sorry to tell you this, but you probably should see a doctor ASAP. It could be the sign of a coming stroke, since it is sudden and very painful. I started with a sudden very different migraine than any I had ever had before. It turned out that within 3 weeks, longer than usual as a gap in time, I had a full carotid artery dissection stroke.
The same with his recent heart catherization was chest pressure. In the ER he was given 2 nitroglycerin, 5 minutes apart, the chest pressure went away after the 2nd nitroglycerin.
Does any good specialist in cardiology think that my husband should have the open heart surgery for bypasses considering the risks regarding his age, his diabetes?
I would appreciate very explanatory answers, easy to understand, what to do in my husband's situation.
Thankyou.
I assume the diagnosis of hyperreactive responses not only to the constrictor effects of acetylcholine, but also the dilator effects of nitroglycerin were detected diffusely in the epicardial coronary arteries of patients with coronary spastic angina.
The goal of treatment is to control chest pain and to prevent heart attack. The pain is relieved by a medicine called nitroglycerin (dilates coronary vessels). You have been prescribed norvasc and that should relieve any chest pains.
Is it advisable for someone diagnosed with NCS to wear a medic alert bracelet? I now am taking midrodrine but still feel lightheaded and during my tilt table test, fainted after less than five minutes, had a seizure and no blood pressure.
