What to Expect From Your Physician

Be ready to answer the doctor's questions

When did you first begin experiencing symptoms?
Have your symptoms been continuous or occasional?
How severe are your symptoms?
What, if anything, seems to improve your symptoms?
What, if anything, appears to worsen your symptoms?

The doctor will also ask you to describe your discomfort or pain:

Is it pain? Discomfort? Tightness? Pressure? Sharp? Stabbing?
Where is the pain located? Is it in a specific area or more generalized?
Does the pain spread to your neck and arms? How and when did the pain start? Did something specific seem to trigger the pain? Does it start gradually and build up? Or start suddenly?
How long does it last?
What makes it worse? Activity? Breathing? Body movement?
What makes it feel better? Rest? Deep breaths? Sitting up?
Do you have other symptoms with the pain, such as nausea or dizziness?
Do you have trouble swallowing?
Do you often have heartburn? (Heartburn can mimic the feeling of angina.)

It's never too early to make healthy lifestyle changes.

To fend off the negative effects of Angina and CAD, you can easily make changes to your daily life. Quitting smoking, eating healthy foods and becoming more physically active are primary lines of defense against angina and other conditions, including heart attack and stroke.

Important Safety Information

Nitrolingual® Pumpspray should not be used if you are allergic to nitroglycerin or if you are using medications for erectile dysfunction such as avanafil, sildenafil, vardenafil, or tadalafil. Using Nitrolingual® Pumpspray with these products may cause low blood pressure (hypotension), fainting, or heart attack.

Nitrolingual® Pumpspray should not be used if you have anemia.

Nitrolingual® Pumpspray should not be used in patients with increased intracranial pressure. Talk to your doctor if you had a cerebral hemorrhage or traumatic brain injury before taking Nitrolingual® Pumpspray.

You might develop a tolerance to this drug or to other nitrates and nitrites. Only the smallest number of doses required for effective relief of the acute angina attack should be used.

You should use nitroglycerin with caution in the early days after a heart attack and it may aggravate the angina caused by a condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Increased hypotension, mainly when standing upright, may occur even with small doses of nitroglycerin and may result in slow heart beat and increased angina. It should be used with caution if you are dehydrated due to drug therapy or if you have low blood pressure.

Headache is the most reported side effect and may be severe and persistent. Other side effects that have been reported are dizziness, numbness and tingling of the skin, drowsiness, nausea, increased heart rate.
