Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

You have not mentioned what meds have been tried by your doctor. Just in case calcium channel-blockers, such as, nifedipine, amlodipine (used for high blood pressure) and nitrates (used for relieving angina and in heart disease), have NOT been tried by your doctor, a trial of these drugs is worthwhile.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and prescribe these meds, if not already tried.


If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
