Microvascular Angina ?
by tmspriy, Feb 19, 2009 05:48AM
I am 33 Yr Lady diagnoised of Vasculitis(Small Vessel) at the age of 12 manifested as skin lesions. In the year 2002 I was admitted to hospital with hypertension & chest pain. A stress thalium was positive following which a coronory agiogram was negative. I was put on diltiazem tablets which I tolerated well and my symptoms reduced considerably. Few months back my BP dropped following which my diltazem dose was made half(90 SR mg once a day). I then developed chest pain & breathlessness on excersion which relieves on rest. My cardiaologist has now put me on an additional cardiac drug vastarel 35 mg twice a day. Its been two days since i started my new drug and today I had chest pain for a while which was relieved on rest. I would like to know if it would take a while for my new drug to take effect. Also can my problem be classified as microvascular angina whose cause could be vasculitis?
