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)
