Hello,

Thanks for your query in HCM
Nikoran is a nitrate. It helps to relieve the chest pain/discomfort produced by decreased blood flow in the coronary arteries supplying the heart. If your chest heaviness is due to decreased blood flow to the heart, it would help.
As for the blood vessels of the legs, the benefit may not be as much because the effect is less if any. No harm in trying. You may get a headache as a side effect due toits effect on the blood vessels of the head.
Your doctor would have asked you whether you were taking any medicine like Viagra used for ED. I am writing this to remind you that it is extremely dangerous to take Nikoran if you take any such medicine.
Take Care
