http://www.medications.com/effect/view/31246 I had used NR for six weeks when I woke up at 3 am with SEVERE chest pains. Went to the ER and was diagnosed with *substantial* pulmonary emboli (blood clots in the lungs).

I am 27 y.o. and totally healthy and active. After ignoring leg pain in my calf because I thought it was muscular... I eventually went to the hospital after I had difficulty breathing.
