Abstract

Three women with exercise‐exacerbated myalgias refractory to usual medications are described who responded favorably when the calcium channel blocker, nifedipine, was administered. The side effects were dose‐related and prevented complete resolution of the symptoms. Three potential mechanisms of action are suggested for these effects.
