Can 2 Nitro Cause Sweaty With Treated Heart Attack?
I had heartattack, triple bypass and a pacemaker in 2005. I've been taking 2 nitro in the morning and 2 at night for a couple of days due to pain under left breast and near center of my chest and , yesterday when I vacumned I got very sweaty which has never happened. Can you tell me what this means?

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Nitrates are a common therapeutic option for relieving ischemic cardiac pain. They may exacerbate hypotension in susceptible persons, so their use should be monitored cautiously. Facing your clinical scenario, it is advisable to perform a medical check up to your cardiologist, for a differential diagnosis of those complains: Are those caused by nitrates or by the primary ischemic heart disease??
Hope to have been helpful. Greetings!
