A member asked:

Dizzy spells, weakness, near blackouts, happen a lot since started nitro. what should i do? doc wants it for my heart.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vasoldilator: Nitroglycerin makes the blood vessels dilate everywhere, not just in your heart, so blood pools away from the brain, causing dizziness, ask your cardiologist to adjust the dose.
