How safe is Sorbitrate and Nikoran for chest pain?
Patient: Sir, I am diabetic type II patient since 2000. I am 61 yrs old now. During March 2010 i underwent angio for proximal LCX 100% occlusion. Adhoc PTCA+ stent to LCX. I was put under the following medication :-disprin, clopitab,pantocid,tonact and aten . Again i felt pain/burning /heaviness in my heart since last one month. So this time i consulted another cardiologist and he has added the following tabs ;-sorbitrate and nikoran. iwas taking sorbitrate  but its side effect .....severe headach and neck pain started . Again i consulted doctor . he said discontinue sorbitrate  and suggested for stent test .Kindly advise .I am unable to bear the pain in my chest . Doctor: Hi ThereAfter going through your query I understand your concern.I would like to tell you that sometimes after angioplasty there can be development of new lesion or blockage that can cause you Angina or chest pain. You have been prescribed with the proper treatment by If sorbitrate and Nikoran are not helping in your chest pain then you should get a Angiography done to evaluate the cause of chest pain. Angiography is the only test that can give you the proper idea of the disease and will help you in treatment .Hopefully this has answered your query.Kind RegardsDr Navneet Bansal
