Microvascular angina: Need to know more details. This is a diagnosis made by exclusion and the drug is not without side effects including EKG changes so it is affecting "the heart" that is why it is given.Happy to do 2nd opinion to get and give more information. I would consider other methods to treat this. 1. nitroglycerin. 2. Weight loss. 3. Low sodium diet or DASH eating plan which may improve by lowering BP.
