If you have any history of heart disease/problems or uncontrolled high blood pressure--then you should not use it.
Assuming this not an issue, then this response, according to the medical literature I've seen, is not well understood--but not a sign of a serious problem.
Unfortunately, the spray is not regarded as especially effective for cluster. Talk the doc into the injection form.

I have used up to 80mg a day of imtirix nasal spray and had no problems with it. It works in about 6-10 min. for me. If you continue to have chest pains with it I would quit using it. I hope you find relief soon. Also 120mg of verapamil is very low. My dr had me try a dose of over 600mg. I have heard of people needing around 400mg to be theraputic.
