Now all about the pills. We are now on 20 mg of Isosorbide Mononitrate for "heart attack and chest pain". Thats what it says. Without looking it up on a Rx website, it is probably to relax the chest blood vessels. Working with the aspirin, the two should provide a better flow of blood around the heart and chest area. The doctor felt that this Rx would provide another layer of protection till I see the Dr at the hospital.

Problem with the pills is the side effects. Specifically the headaches. I have had to stop the aspirin as there was a conflict. The aspirin seems to enhance the side effects. I have to take advil for the headaches. They are worse in the late afternoon and evening. So far we take 4 to 6 tabs a day. And now we have gotten our upset tummy again.

This is a nightly thing. At times the sore tummy causes some real bad chest pain. gets me up several times during the night. I take mylanta liquid for this to keep the acis reflex in the stomach and not in the esphogus. We had this several months ago and now its back. Time and less food on the stomach will fix this again till we can see a Dr. And no its not a heart attack, its a different pain.
