I had a middle class hypertensive crisis at midnight two days ago. it was high blood pressure of 110/165.
Strong headache with a bit of pounding, too. I immediately went to an urgent care center and they gave me 10mg sublingual nifedipine.. Resolved the issue. The next morning i felt more dizzy than usual and saw "white light" but a little salt resolved the hypotension.
Right now i have hypotension every morning though, i see some white light almost every morning when i walk from bed upstairs to the kitchen. Some salt takes care of the issue OK.I got one more nifedipine pill and i will split it so i have two times 5mg nifedipine. Put it in small gelatine caps and put a good layer of carnauba wax around it so the capsule wont "melt". This way i can take 5mg right away when i feel it "coming on" without having to fear of doing too much. If it wont get better in 20 minutes i can take another one.
I wont go out of the house without nifedipine in my purse anymore.Just saying this so others wont make the same mistake as i did. Gotta be careful with nardil, i just learned it aint a toy.
I dont think i ate something terribly wrong but i took 7 Pills all at once.. If your taking a high dose you have to be VERY careful with foods. More so than just cheese and salami.
Zonked i wouldnt do that experiment that i did, its just way too extreme. Also i will never again take more than 4 pills at once!Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, severe
Refractory atypical double depression, severe
Social anxiety disorder, moderate
ADD, inattentive, mild
Hints of borderline
Nardil 67.5mg
