Ranolazine for Angina "I have microvascular angina and am already on various medications. I started 375 mg of Ranexa twice a day a week ago, and I’ve felt like a zombie since, with a permanent headache, dizziness, and all I want to do is sleep. Hoping it will ease off."

Ranolazine for Angina "I started taking this medication last night, Feb 19, 2012, and I have experienced a lot of gas. I was up most of the night going to the bathroom, and today I'm experiencing a strange sensation in my chest, but it's not pain. It almost feels like a tingle, and I have a cough also. I also have anxiety and headaches."

Ranolazine for Angina "Ranexa made my angina symptoms worse. While on it, I got extremely out of breath at the smallest exertion, my heart raced, I was lightheaded, tired, had a headache, and pain in my stomach. When I went off of it, I felt better. I was taking 500 mg twice daily."
