Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that isosorbide can cause nausea in some patients which may require an administration of anti-emetics , dose modification or alternative. Kindly consult your treating cardiologist personally regarding this.
