Niranjana, I try to take Felodip in the morning. But it doesn't always help me hold back the attack. Yesterday I had to apply 3 injections of Nitrospray to relieve the pain. It's excruciating. Every time, I have to control my provoking factors. It's morning now and I've been woken up by another seizure. You need to undergo additional examinations in cardiology, go to a cardiologist's appointment again to clarify something. She said that I had Prinzmetal angina due to an underlying systemic disease. Now I don't leave the house without pills or spray. The days pass in different ways. Seizures occur up to 4 times a day. Sometimes they can be avoided altogether.
I have chest pain a lot. I have an appointment next week with my primary to discuss if I need to see a cardiologist.
Hi Ekaterina, I responded to this question when you asked it yesterday. How are you feeling?
To be sure I understand you, Ekaterina, when you say seizure, do you mean another attack of the angina? Or are you having neurological seizures in which you lose consciousness, have uncontrollable jerking of the limbs, etc.?
I'm sorry to hear you're suffering so much. Please ask your doctor whether increasing the felodipine may help you, though it will lower your BP, too, which will hopefully not cause trouble.
