"A blood pressure med caused my heart rate to get so low, I ended up in ER and kept over night. Leaving the hospital, I was given isosorbide 3x a day. I started having bad angina pain. I never had angina before. My heart raced 120 to 160 times a minute. The angina pain caused me to be hospitalized twice. The second time was so bad, I thought I would die. No doctor mentioned it could be from Isosorbide. I was given nitroglycerin for under the tongue, to stop the pain. I took nitroglycerin from 2 to 10 times a day for pain. I started exploring when angina started and tracked it back to when I started taking the Isosorbide. After slowly taking myself off of it, the pain stopped. Now I have what feels like nerve damage on left side of my body and down my whole left arm and hand from having this pain for 1 1/2 years I took this med. I went through a year of horrible test, MRI's, CAT scans, ECHOGRAMS, Heart Cath., ETC. No answers, I had to figure it out for myself."

"Made a substantial difference in my quality of life. I get about 10 hours of pain free (angina) time per dose. I take a pill 2x daily and get almost full relief. Only time I get some little pain now is after a full dinner and some exertion. Before Isosorbide any exertion caused pain."

"I have been using this medicine for a few months now. No matter how much I wanted to feel better by doing so, this medicine never made any difference. I still have angina regardless of taking the tablets regularly 20 mg, twice a day."

"I was given this medication for very bad chest pains, instead of nitro glycerine. My angina pain got much worse taking this. After a week I stopped taking it and the chest pain let up."
