Not surprised to hear this as the docs look at you as if you have lost your mind if you mention the MAOI's. As for nitro the use when I was Nursing was that in the hospital if a patient said they had chest pain. Was take BP, administer one under tongue, 5 minutes later ask if pain gone and take BP & if not gone give another, repeat what I wrote and then one last try of nitro if pain still there. Not angina more serious and new orders given. Glad you are having the stress test. Phillipa
