I was recently prescribed Imdur ER 120mg Tablets to prevent chest pain caused by heart disease. The doctor said it works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which should help reduce my heart's workload. I've heard about some serious side effects like allergic reactions and abnormal heartbeats, which are really concerning. I've only been taking it for a week and have noticed some dizziness, which seems to be common. I'm just curious if anyone else has had similar experiences or any tips for managing side effects. Also, I've been getting headaches—I'm not sure if that's normal. I've seen people talk about it on different forums, but I'd like to talk about it here with some others who know the medication. If anyone has any experience or advice, I would really appreciate it.

Also, how do you manage any side effects like dizziness or headaches? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone else had a similar experience or any other issues with this medication?

I've heard from my doctor that this medication works by blocking calcium from entering the heart and blood vessel cells, but I’m still curious to hear more about how it affects the body. Any insights or personal stories are welcome!
