Hi, breathing problems with chest pain with response to nitroglycerin warrants closer look at your cardiac status would suggest to contact the doctor who suggested nitroglycerin if you have not done any cardiac evaluation, please get an ecg and consult a cardiologist for opinion regarding continuation of nitroglycerin.

You can continue nitroglycerin. This tablet is given for angina prevention. Even though she is better, it is advised to continue till you consult your doctor for next visit.

Though she is having satisfactory blood sugars, her blood pressure is high and she is having cardiac symptoms. Breathlessness and chest pain which responded to nitroglycerin also suggest cardiac symptoms. Continue nitroglycerin till you consult cardiologist for complete cardiac evaluation such as ecg, echo and angiography (if suggested by your cardiologist)
