awesome!thanks.
i see my first crs in a week.
you said you take nifed.
does it give you headaches?
i was told nitro (rective) gives headaches and that nifed & diltiazem does not give headaches and that they all work the same to promote blood flow..is this true?

yeah, i use topical nifedipine 2% . i suffer from frequent migraines and the nitroglycerin gave me very severe migraines. No headaches with the nifedipine for me.
The research is mixed, but generally both diltiazem and nifedipine are as effective as nitroglycerin. Diltiazem isn't tolerated as well as nifedipine in terms of itching and rashes and other skin reactions. I had such a bad reaction to the diltiazem i got blistering, but have had no trouble with nifedipine.
