Question: Hi. Thank you for your time. Last saturday I took
benadryl for allergied to my cat. Within 15 minutes I had a bp of 220/113. I took half 1mg of
Ativan and it decreased over an hour to 178/100. I have had sensitivity to meds, all stimulants put me in ambulance, delodid, narcotics etc cause these "storms". I was diagnosed panic disorder ten years ago, and have had at least 500+ episodes. They wake me in my sleep with racing heart and palpitations gasping for air. I drank mountain dew not knowing that stimulants do this...my bp was sky high, I had shakes, faintibg, diaherrea, went in ambulance very sick. One time I had my
heart rate jump to 250bpm after lying down to watch a movie. In the ambulance the gave me an iv medici
ne to restart my heart. I have had extreme low potassium levels,
blood transfusion where I had bad
anemia. Something went wrong during the transfusion. I had a c section where my baby died 20 days later of heart condition. I have zero sex drive. I am perscribed ativan, and have to live on this or id be having episodes everyday. Is it possible I have a pheochromocytoma??? I do not belive it is panic it is waaaay to severe. I also get NAsTY migraines. Ive been in the er more times than I can count. Saturday was the highest my bp has ever been. But it elevates everytime this happens. Lately ive had
constipation like I have never seen before. I would cry because its that bad. When my symptoms occur I have trouble swallowing food. The food sometimes gets stuck.
