Has anyone experienced severe side effects from Imdur ER 120mg Tablets for angina?
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.

Dizziness is a pain, but it has been manageable. I just take it easy for the first hour after taking it. My doctor said to avoid sudden movements. Hopefully, that helps you.
If you're really worried, call your doctor's office. They can usually squeeze you in if it's urgent or help you over the phone.
I wish they had told me about the dizziness. I felt like I was walking on a boat for the first few days. Hopefully, you're not as bad.
Just wanted to say that it's normal to feel a bit off at first. My body adapted after a few weeks. Stick with it unless you feel really bad.
I've been on Imdur for months and the headaches did improve over time, just like my doctor said. Hang in there!
I switched to a lower dose and it helped with the side effects. Talk to your doctor about adjusting if it's too much.
I stopped taking it because the headaches were unbearable. I hope you can tough it out – it's better than chest pain, though.
