firewatcher Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Has anyone had a Cardiac CT angiography with nitroglycerin administration? How did you react POTS-wise? Anyone also with migraine? My cardiologist scheduled me to have one for an investigation of chest pain, but did not explain the procedure. After talking to the nurse, I cancelled. Any experiences?

JimL Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 No problems with that procedure. I did pass out on the TTT after getting nitro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Same here - I passed out on TTT after nitro but can tolerate it well when not upright. I used to be on nitro patch for angina but no longer need it. If I had to take the sublingual pill for acute chest pain I just had to lie down with it. Nitro is extremely short lived, I don't think you would have to worry about the dose they give during the test since you will be lying down. Just make sure to get up slow and sit for few seconds before getting off the table!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
