Nifedipine but I havent got high blood pressure

[fashion_luva_holla]

I dont have high blood pressure but my doc is trying me on Nifedipine to try and see if it helps with my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Anyone have any experiences of this medication? And is it harmful to take it if you dont have high blood pressure? Thanks
