The nitroglycerine comes in an ointment to rub on.
You would do that where the artery is --so have the doctor show you.
Or if you try the oral Imdur, get 30mg and snap in half to start, and try it that way. First timers with nitrates get a fast response and too high a dose is uncomfortable. After a week on 1/2 (15mg), you may be able to increase as the headache will fade.
For me the headache was worse standing up and bending over.
Lying down wasn't much of a side effect. So if you take it at night, you will already be lying down.
Both require an RX order from the doctor.
