Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Aletta, You recently suggested that a Nitro spray might help Marg's chest pain. Although this might be true, nitro should be used only with great caution on MSA patients. It has the effect of drastically lowering the blood pressure, and in a person with already compromised bp regulation and orthostatic hypotension, it could cause pressure to bbecome too low and the heart to fail. Rob and I heard a horror story about this at the MSA conference in Cleveland a year and a half ago -- the MSA patient died after being given nitro. So, use only with great care.
