Ahh. That's a different story. BP elevations aren't unusual in association with panic attacks, but usually they aren't high enough to put you in the danger zone.

I was surprised to hear you were using it for PD, yeah. Given the details of your situation, it seems reasonable. I assume you have a BP monitor so you know when to take it?
