Thank you, Nicole. This is a rare heart condition, and it's perfectly normal to be unaware of it. I consulted with my cardiologist, and she strongly recommended diet 10. I took my Filodipine (Filodip) at lunchtime. I think if I try moving my dose from morning to lunchtime, the nighttime seizures will stop. I'm hoping for that. I'll definitely let you know how I'm managing my symptoms.
I'm sorry I can't help you. I don't know anything about this.
What is diet 10? In the US, we recommend a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet for angina. As Prinzmetal's angina generally occurs only when there's some atherosclerosis in the arteries, this would be appropriate. It's possible that vasculitis could predispose to Prinzmetal's, so please consider talking with your cardiologist and rheumatologist about this, too.
