Hello,

Here's one for you. It's not me, it's my girlfriend... For some time she has complained of intermittent chest pain. They discovered a blockage in the left ventrical. OK, I'll buy that. Now then, she was perscribed nitro to aleiviate the pain. It does nothing to help. She's on two different medications for hypotension, but she's almost always still low, even after taking them. She also tends to get shakey and sometimes passes out at any given moment regardless of activity. She was just in the hospital for several days where they did pretty much nothing but monitor her blood pressure and let her go when the top number finally reached 92 (still seems low to me). No one seems motivated to really fix the problem, just give a couple meds that only sort of mask things and act as a bandaid for the problem. Thoughts?

Thanks!
Lorne
