More pain on isosorbide mononitrate?

I started isosorbide mononitrate this morning. I wasn't surprised by the headache, which is pretty bad, but was surprised that I have had quite a bit MORE chest pain today!

Has anyone else found this?

When I first started taking the isosorbide mononitrate, I had a headache as well and dizziness. But it subsided after awhile (although I still get some dizziness from my various meds). I did not receive chest pain/pressure from the drug as far as I know, although I did have some continuing chest pressure from other sources. Could the combo of drugs you are on be lowering your blood pressure and causing some of the symptoms? Good luck!
