What side effect is common with Nitroglycerin use?

Tachycardia
Hypertension
Headache
Diarrhea

The correct answer is: Headache

Nitroglycerin is commonly used for the treatment of angina pectoris and heart failure. One of the most common side effects associated with Nitroglycerin use is a headache. This is due to the vasodilatory effects of Nitroglycerin, which can cause dilation of blood vessels in the brain, resulting in headaches. Tachycardia and hypertension are not common side effects of Nitroglycerin use. Diarrhea is also not a typical side effect associated with Nitroglycerin.
