Hmm, no one has mentioned this to me. I could give it a try while I wait for the surgery. Sometimes I wake up and I can feel the blood trying to squeeze through that artery. It feels and sounds like a pinched garden hose inside of me every time my heart beats. Its pretty freaky. What I don't get is why soemtimes its pretty bad and other times its not so bad. I have been trying to really focus on cutting down inflammation ( taking lyposomal glutathione, tumeric, omega 3's and eating foods that are lower on the inflamatory list) and it has seemed to help.

I will look into the nitrates. Thanks.
