Are you taking any other medications with it if not start taking nicorandil 10 mg twice a day and Ranolazine-od 500 mg once a day and switch to Sustained release Nitroglycerin nitrocontin 6.5 once in morning.These medications will take care of your chest pain on exertion & otherwise Once it gets controlled you can stop ranolazine and continue rest medications i prescribed.
Wish you healthy life
