Vasospastic Angina

[Mutley20]

I take all the usual meds including Verapamil, Isosorbide Mononitate, Nicorandil, Ranolazine and Esomeprazole .

I have suddenly got a very dry mouth and get very tired. Has this happened to anyone else? Would be very grateful for your comments.

Thank you. 😀

this is worth a chat with your pharmacist - either your dispensing one or, if your doctor’s group of surgeries employs one, that person.

Hello,

I am on a slightly different cocktail of medications to help manage my vasospastic angina.

Diltiazem, nicorandil, Isosorbide mononitrate tablets and patches, clopidogrel, rosuvastatin, lansoprazole and oxygen overnight.

I do get a dry mouth especially if I have been breathing through my mouth when I am sleeping. I feel more tired when I sleep open mouthed.

I have discussed sleep apnoea with my GP, however I decided I didn't want any further investigations.

I try to drink plenty of water which helps. Tiredness is something I increasingly feel now the cooler weather has arrived, as I am more symptomatic.

Maybe worth discussing your dry mouth further with your GP or Cardiologist?

Many of the medications we're taking list a dry mouth as a side effect.

Hi,

Thanks very much for your reply - very helpful. It is comforting to know that it is likely to be side effects. Like you I would rather not have any further investigations. The medication I have has certainly helped. Hope you are keeping well and thanks again,
