ABSTRACT
Imigran(R) (sumatriptan), a 5-hydroxytryptamine (HT) derivative, is highly effective in aborting attacks of migraine and cluster headache. The drug is generally well tolerated. However tolerated, although up to 8% of patients consistently have demonstrate chest symptoms, including chest pressure, tightness, and pain, often mimicking angina pectoris. It has been suggested that these chest symptoms are caused by coronary vasoconstriction, and that this effect may be mediated by endothelial dysfunction. This can be reversed by the administration of glyceryl trinitrate. We report a case of vasospastic angina pectoris occurring after the administration of oral sumatriptan in a patient with migraine.
