nitroglycerin under the tongue

hI. I'm 30 years old. female. Had several episodes of Chest pains for the past 2 years. all began when I clim a hill and was breathless when arriving on top. My ECG was on SR C. I'm havin palpitations. I am on Betaloc 50 mg for the last 2 years. My symptoms are Chest pains which radiates to the left arm, feel dizziness and is always tired after small exertion.I am always on Low BP. My echo measureents are ; LVEDD 43 mm, LVESD 28 mm, LVEF 68%, IVS= 8m, PWT = 7mm, AOV 20 mm, LA = 26 mm.

If you feel chest pain put a nitro pill under your tongue, if the pain doesn’t go away in 5 mins take another, if it still doesn’t go away then call 911. The make it sound as simple as; brush and floss every day. Don’t need any advice on the lifestyle modifications, I already practice all of that and I had further progression anyway. At this point I am considering a non-meat lifestyle.

Since last few days I am observing that when I get up in the morning my tongue is coated white. I clean the tongue with a tooth brush and the white coating disappears and the tongue remains in natural pink colour throughout the day. Secondly, there is a small crack in the middle forefront of the tongue. My age is 81 years. I am not diabetic and my blood pressure is normal.

I will discuss that with the doctor later today but I was told I can put the isorbide under the tongue or swallow whole. I did not get a response on my use of Nicotine gum, please.

Hi nanou and welcome here at MedHelp. I'm just curious what made you look for this old post referencing nitro? Its from before my being dx'd with MS. BTW, the nitro is still on my nightstand and in my purse too, but I haven't needed it for at least 10 months.

I am a heart patient with long time experience of angina, chest pain. When it is angina the chest pain gets worse when you are standing up and moving around. Gets less when you are resting. I take nitroglycerin under tongue for chest pain. If it doesn't go away in 15 minutes then I call my dr or an ambulance and go to emergency room. If your left chest hurts when you go to sleep it is not a typical angina pain. BUT you should check out any chest pain with a doctor.

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.

And why would you use something that is not prescribed your MD. Nitroglycerin is not a.drug to mess with. If it ended up on the wrong person, in the wrong concentration, there could be severe consequences.

3 However, it should be noted that it is also possible to avoid tolerance to these drugs by simply changing the dosing schedule. People taking ISMN or nitroglycerin should talk with their pharmacists about avoiding drug tolerance. I change dosing schedules!

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.

m a heart patient myself, but no nitroglycerin for me.

I, too have a bump under my tongue. It is right on the skin that connects my tongue to my lower jaw, so when i move my tongue, it hurts. It started recently, and has been recurring on and off. However, this morning it was at its fullest and largest size. It appears to be clear, with some sort of transparent fluid inside. It hurts when I eat, for it involved tongue movement. I do not smoke, chew tobacco, or anything of the sort, nor have I ever. Looking at it, it has gotten MUCH bigger over time.

Actually there are two with the orafices of the salivary ducts on both sides of lingual frenum under the tongue. It is possible that the duct is blocked and causing a slight infection. It would be a good idea to see an oral surgeon.

If a person with HCM were to take nitroglycerin, the symptoms would worsen and the nitroglycerin could even cause a catastrophic deterioration in the person's condition".

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 a lump (the size of a fat lima bean, maybe slightly bigger) under the left side of my tongue. prior to my dr.

s located in the valley of my mouth between the floor of the tongue and the gum line. It is below the tissue. It is painless and has there for 2 years or so. It has not gotten larger. I asked my dentist about it a year and a half ago...but she said it was likely nothing. Is this something I should be more concerned about? Does anyone know what this could be? I have a doctor's appointment next week for something unrelated....should I talk to my GP about this? Thanks so much!!!

I have a red sore on my lingual fraenulum (the muscle that connect the tongue to the bottom of the mouth). It's been there for about a month now, on and off. Sometimes it swells and turns bright red, other times it is kind of white. I'm not sure if this is a severe canker sore, or a symptom of a type of mouth cancer. Please advise!! Over-the-counter options? Health care is expensive, so I'd rather not see a doctor. THANK YOU!!

it it dose hurt but over the year it has gotten bigger it is under the tounge not on yhe tounge but its in the area behind the teeth and gums starting to get scared so any idea would be very appreciated

I noticed another post where the poster had the same exact symptoms, but there was no suggestions as to what it could be. The previous post was over a year ago at http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Skin-Cancer/Three-White-Lesions-on-Side-of-my-Tongue-Picture/show/1027162#post_4774554 . Can anyone help?

He has been prescribed a steroid ointment (for topical use only ?????) which has reduced the size of the lump but it then returns when the ointment is not used. I have suggested she ask her GP to undertake blood tests fbc ue b12 folate but after that I am at a loss. Surgery has been suggested but his Mum is unlikely to be able to afford this and I am not sure its absolutely necessary. I have been sent some pictures of the offending lump if anyone is in a position to view them .

They have been there for as long as I can remember. They are in the same spot on both sides, along the veins under my tongue.
