angina what to do




Has anyone had angina as a side-effect of Zelnorm?

I have been taking Zelnorm for about a year and a half. At one point I went to the Dr. complaining about chest pain. They said (because of my age, I was 28 then) that I had inflammed cartlidge in my chest and prescribed me Celebrex (which did nothing). I tried to get my Zelnorm refilled today and I was told it was pulled off the US market due to Heart Attack, Stroke, and Angina risks. I am not sure what to do. I called my doctors and none of them are taking it seriously due to my age. Any advise??

I am 51, have been taking Zelnorm a long time also & none of the above for me. That said, anything is possible, even if not probable. If it persists & you are really worried, get a EKG. It is not invasive, can be done in the doctors office, & you will know right away if there are any changes in your heart that are significant.
