For Angina "I didn't realize how much my Prinzmetal angina was affecting my sleep until I started Ranexa. Within two nights, I was sleeping ten hours/night without interruption and awakening refreshed. The first time in over fifteen years. What an incredible experience, night after night, to have no shortness of breath and to be free of chest tightness. Amazing. I'd forgotten the freedom."

For Angina "I am on Ranexa 1000 mg since 1 year now. I still have pain in my chest and arm, plus serious constipation and terrible memory loss. It's short-term memory loss I am talking about, like going for a glass of water from the fridge and forgetting halfway why I walked up to there."

For Angina "Have been taking Ranexa for 6 months (as of 10/29/2015) - 500 mg twice daily. Pretty much worthless. Still have chest pains; still using nitro pills."

For Angina "Significant reduction in chest tightness, indigestion, and chest pain. I do still occasionally get chest pain that I have to relieve with nitroglycerin, but not that often."
