  1. Hi. I did not know I had a message. Recently we tried a trial of Carbidopa and my b/p went up to 170/130. My feet started swelling. Ugh. I think I took Guanfacine and did not react well. We are talking about IgG next.
  2. My b/p and pulse pressures are all over the place. After starting Carbidopa my b/p were 150/130. I am waiting to hear from my neurologist what he wants me to do, if anything. The nurse was like "what kind of pressure is that. My PCP thought it was a malfunction until it kept happening.
  3. I too have a crazy orthostatic hypertension. I was 190/90 in the ER and they did nothing. The felt that my feeling horrible was driving my pressure up; it eventually went down to 150/82 on its own. My pulse is an average between 50-60. At rest I will go to 110/76. Then when I move about it bounces back up. On my beat to beat I did the same thing. I started on Carbidopa last week and guess what, my b/p went up. I have caught at 170/130. I feel awful. As someone else stated, the elevations do not always correlate to my feeling horrible. I also drop at night. This all seems very cyclical. Sometimes I am awakened by dizziness and my pressure is up. What to do???????????????
  4. I started Carbidopa 4 days ago and I am miserable. I thought this drug was supposed to have minimal side effects. Any one else get worse they got better on Carbidopa.
