Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that it is the side effect of the nitro glyserine, in a few days you may become accostomed to it. Other wise you have you have to stop, the drug by informing your doctor, he may suggest you some other alternative for it.
You didn't mention whether you have confirmed the diagnosis of angina or not. If using by doubt, you have to get the E.C.G., ECHO, and stress test for confirmation.
So i advise you to consult a cardiologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
