I took nitro and a time-release version called Imdur.

Nitro works almost instantly--really amazing. You put a tiny pill under your tongue. In 30 sec to one minute, the chest pain eases and you get a pounding migraine headache in return.

IMDUR was worse: it gives a 24-hour pounding migraine, which, when it subsides, means you have to take another dose.

No thanks. I am glad I am now off both drugs. Incredible when needed but the side effect is nasty.

Know what you mean. When working with nitro plastizer rocket propellant (about 10% nitorglycerin,if the stuff gets on your skin a massive pounding headache follows in a couple minutes. Funny thing is how fast you can develop a tolerance. The people that worked with it all day long were not bothered, little did they know it was good for their hearts.
