Are there any side effects to EECP?

I experienced slight angina and much discomfort today as I received EECP. I have taken EECP before and felt great - can you explain my discomfort today? I had to stop treatment for a short time.

Most people who have EECP tolerate the therapy with no major discomfort, side effects or complications. The most common side effects are mild headache, mild dizziness, fatigue or muscle aches. A small number of people develop pressure sores, skin irritation or bruising from the cuff inflation.

Hope this helps, otherwise visit the website listed below or google it!
