Hello, I have this Glyceryl Trinitrate spray that I am supposed to use if I get a pain. I have used it a couple of times, when I thought I had a pain, but it makes me feel really bad, (heart racing,head pounding and a bit sick).
I am not sure how bad or how long I should put up with any "Pain" before I use the spray? I don't want to use it for any old niggle, but conversely I don't want to not be using it if I should be (There is also a degree of not wanting to use it because if it doesn't work after the second time, I am then going to have to call 999, which I REALLY don't want to do!)
I had a bit of pain/discomfort earlier and took a small dose, the pain did indeed seem to go away (or at least I didn't think about it which was a relief in itself!) But now I am feeling a bit of discomfort and the occasional "snapping" type sensation in my chest. (I think a lot of this is in my mind, but the uncertainty is driving me insane.)
I am not sure if I should take another dose? Can you take too much GNT?
Sorry if I have posted something similar to this, I feel pretty stupid going on these forums! but I do find it helps me type out my questions/fears and the replies I get are very welcome and comforting!
I don't know if I need a kick up the backside or a shoulder to cry on!
