I accidentally took my medication of 60 mg of adalat retard twice today. What are the consequences? ## Hello, Peter! How are you? Did you experience any adverse effects? Your blood pressure and heart rate could go lower than usual, which may result in your experiencing more dizziness, nausea and drowsiness than normal. If they get severe, you should seek medical attention.

I had MCI in January 2006. Soon after CABG surgery was done. Recently, at times I am feeling mild anginal pain. Other day , I met my Cardiologist and advised two tablets of Angispan Tr, morning and Afternoon. Further, I was advised to stop the medicine if it didn't work well. However, I am yet to start it after I learnt about its side effects. Please advise. ## Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor? They would really be the only person that is best able to advise you in this situation. Angispan contains the active ingredient Nitroglycerin, which is used as a vasodilator to improve blood and oxygen flow to the heart. It can cause some side effects, such as: nausea, headache, dizziness and orthostatic hypotension. You can learn more about it here: ## I WANT ## i had heart ...

I started Corlanor a week ago, they started me on 5mg but had to cut that back to 2.5mg because my heart rate went to low. I am experiencing sensitivity to light, but they say that will subside. I would like to hear from others that are taking this drug. ## Part of this drug's intention is to lower the heart rate. How low did yours go? It's used to treat certain types of chronic heart failure. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, slow heart rate, high blood pressure and the light sensitivity that you mentioned. Is anyone else currently on this drug? ## Hi I just started taking it today...I only took 2.5 mg and it made me very tired hr in the 60s...r u still on it? has ur symptoms gotten better?

I have been on Diltiazem for two months and my sinuses are dried up and I am totally stuffed up all the time. Could this be a side affect of taking this drug.

sublingual? ## Are you asking about swallowing a sbulingual tablet? If so, it will still work, you'll still get the medication, however, it will be released much slower than if you had let it dissolve under the tongue as it was designed for. This can be dangerous for some medications, such as Nitroglycerin, which need to work fast in the advent of chest pain/heart failure.

Can you take Nitromin spray for anxiety, I often suffer from tightness in the chest and shallow breathing, after meals, bedtime, or when rushing around. I have been checked by hospital and they tell me after a number of tests I'm 100%. However they did give me this spay before I attended hospital to try and seemed to work the one time I used it, but I don't know how often or if I should be taking it, hospital told me nothing, but I still get the anxiety discomfort and wondered if its ok to use? ## I'd not recommend it, if you're experiencing anxiety, you're likely already developing a more rapid heartbeat from that and this medication can cause that as a side effect, so it could end up being too much and may cause damage. Other side effects as reported by the FDA may...
