For Angina "I didn't realize how much my Prinzmetal angina was affecting my sleep until I started Ranexa. Within two nights, I was sleeping ten hours/night without interruption and awakening refreshed. The first time in over fifteen years. What an incredible experience, night after night, to have no shortness of breath and to be free of chest tightness. Amazing. I'd forgotten the freedom."

For Angina "Ranexa made my angina symptoms worse. While on it, I got extremely out of breath at the smallest exertion, my heart raced, I was lightheaded, tired, had a headache, and pain in my stomach. When I went off of it, I felt better. I was taking 500 mg twice daily."

For Angina "I still have some pain in my throat and jaw at times, but rarely did I get chest pain since being on Ranexa 750 mg twice a day. I used to wake up in the night with the most horrendous pain, and since taking these, it's not happened once. I couldn't even talk in sentences without getting breathless, now that's better too. I'm lucky enough that I live in the UK, and we have a National Health Service, however, even if I had to get a private prescription, these would cost me around £60 per month, which I would most happily pay."

For Angina "Tried several drugs for angina. Ranexa gave me a dry mouth at night and I was drinking all night. Also, slight headache and affected my breathing. I have COPD and asthma."
