Discussions tagged “angina management”

I was recently prescribed Transderm-Nitro 0.2mg/hr patches to manage my angina, and I've been using them for a few weeks now. The patches have been effective in preventing chest pain, but I've experienced some side effects like headaches and skin irritation. I've heard from others that these side effects can improve over time, but I'm still adjusting. I'm curious to know if anyone else has had a similar experience or if there are any tips for managing these side effects. Additionally, I'm interested in hearing about any other strategies or medications people have used to complement the patches. Let's share our experiences and advice!
