For Angina "I've been using the 30MG ER version for about a week. My symptoms were pain in shoulder and chest when hiking. First few days had significant headaches ( at least for me who never gets them ) that Tylenol nor aspirin could not alleviate. Also felt tired and weak. Must say a turnaround from the symptoms occurred on the 5th day which was yesterday. Tiny, briefly felt headache dissipated with Tylenol. The cool thing is that since 2-3 days ago no longer any left shoulder ( which sometimes radiated to the chest )pain does not occur when hiking up a fairly steep incline or 2 nor the heavy, labored breathing ( tho theres will always be some of that--I mean I'm 74 and realistic ). I hope this will be enduring."

For Angina Pectoris Prophylaxis "I have been taking 'Isosorb Mono ER 60 mg' – once in the evening daily – for more than 3 months now. And I do not seem to have any side effects that I could discern. I believe my cardiologist prescribed it (along with [Ranolazine ER, 500, twice daily]) to alleviate angina pectoris (the medical term for chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease) that I began experiencing. I still notice discomfort, but not to the level that I did before starting to take this medicine. Out-of-pocket cost for the two that I buy together is $83 for 90 days."

"I do get a slight headache every morning, nothing dramatic, and it does lower my blood pressure, but I have severe joint pain throughout my body. I am only taking 10 mg once a day and I will have to go to 5 mg to see if that will help or eliminate them."
