Answer 2

When you had blood work done, have your magnesium levels been checked? Vasospasm is a side effect of magnesium deficiency, among other things. It is difficult to take in the RDA for magnesium in fresh foods, you'd need to eat 14 cups of broccoli or drink 10 cups of orange juice each day. I have supra-ventricular tachycardia snd vasospasm from magnesium deficiency.

You need to watch your calcium levels as well.

Answer 3

Vasodilators (eg GTN, Calcium Channel Blockers) are the mainstay of treatment for vasospastic angina. There are not many options beyond that.
