several hours. is this acceptable ?
Brief Answer:
Ischemic heart disease to rule out first...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and can say as following:
Nitro is a vasodilator medication that helps alleviate angina pain.
If no angina is present, then, nitro cannot help relieve severe kyphosis pain unless it is associated with ischemia problems.
If I was your caring doctor would rule out heart problems through:
- ECG
- echocardiogram
- echo stress test
as long as you are taking Coumadin, heart problems should be ruled out first.
