I have had chest tightness, and pain and shortness of breath. I always recover before I get to three of them. I have only had to use them a few times over three years.

My GI doc prescribed this for me off-label to relieve the symptoms of achalasia. Whenever my esophagus would spasm severely (usually during eating) I would take 1 tablet and I would get almost instant relief from the pain. It worked like a champ and really improved the quality of my life until I was able to have a surgical fix for achalasia.

My husband was prescribed this to lower his BP, along with 4 other BP meds. His morning BPs remain at 170-190 systolic; 90s dystolic.

After my heart attack I would have lots of chest pain and I would take the Nitro and it would help. The two times that 3 tablets didn't stop the pain I went to the hospital and I had 2 more heart attacks. So If your pain is still there after taking three go to the ER. I have zero side effects.

It is clearly known that almost 80-90% of the drug is metabolized during the first pass effect in the liver. The rational behind adminstering this drug sublingually or buccal, is to strategically bypass the liver.I am always puzzeled how this agent remain to be active in susstain release capsules.
