Isosorbide mononitrate "I've been taking Imdur for several years for angina, blood pressure, and other conditions, and I have never felt better. I can breathe again, no chest pains, and I can do things with my family again. After being on blood thinners for over 20 years, this has been a godsend!"

"I was exhausted and constantly gasping for breath. My cardiologist put me on isosorbide mononitrate, one pill a day. The difference was astounding. I no longer was gasping for breath and no longer had to take naps. The pill would wear off during the night, so the doctor recently changed me to two a day. I am experiencing some pretty severe headaches and dizziness when I get up too fast. The doctor had told me I would experience headaches, but they would go away eventually."

"I recently had 2 stents placed in my heart. I was put on 60 mg ER Indur. I have been on it for 30 days. The headaches are horrendous, body aches, back pain, dizziness, extreme exhaustion, mental confusion. I feel like my brain is in a constant state of confusion. The headaches are still bad 30 days later. When I stopped taking the medication, all the symptoms eventually left, including my chest pains. I might have had better results if they had started me on a lower dose. I do not want to take this medication anymore."

"Terrible, terrible headaches. I took the medicine at 4am, and it’s now 7:45am. I’m contemplating calling off from work because I’m not sure I can function. My cardiologist prescribed 120 mg. So last night I had one, and my heart rate was beating so fast. I toss all night long. Heartburn, and I felt acid reflux. The headaches are just terrible. My chest pain is gone, but the headache is still present. I’ve been without this medicine for a month, and I wonder if that’s the reason for the reaction I’m having."

"This was for the isosorbide dinitrate 20 mg tablets. This was the worst pain I ever experienced on this medication. The headaches were so unbearable and debilitating that I had to go to the emergency room. They were so severe my vision became blurry, I had 3 CT scans and an MRI done just to make sure I had intracranial bleeding. They stopped that medication along with hydralazine to bring me back to normal."

"I am a 78-year-old with heart failure. I have been on this medication for about a month. I experienced a slight headache in the first few days, but it was gone by the end of the first week. It has been effective in relieving my angina. I would recommend it if you don't experience headaches."

"This medication causes me to have pressure and tightness in my head, tightness in my ear, and inflammation. I take it along with hydralazine, and it does not lower my blood pressure enough. A higher dosage increases the bad symptoms."

"I'm not sure completely, but this medicine has felt like it eliminated my chest pain. I had an angina-type feeling one morning from a dead sleep, there were a couple other things too. I was overweight, eating anything and everything at all hours of the night when my symptoms started. Since I've taken this with diet, I love this med. I am wondering though why my voice has gotten raspy?"

Isosorbide mononitrate "Dr. started me on Imdur for angina/heart failure. After about 1 week, shortness of breath is gone, and I have no chest pain. I couldn't even turn over in bed without getting short of breath. No side effects at all. Still taking it after 6 months and feel great."
