How regularly are you taking the clonidine? That frequently causes rebound hypertension.
34 female 5'9" 230lbsNon drinker, light smoker but almost completely quit since the heart problems started. Had covid 6 weeks ago with no complications. No history of heart problems or high BP.It started less than 2 weeks ago with drops and spikes ranging from 90/60 to 180/110Now it's sustained high BP and elevated HR. I did go to the ER Monday just to make sure it wasn't something acute as there is accompanying chest pain but the entire time I was at the ER my BP was very low as was my HR.I have a cardiology appointment next Friday but every day since Monday I've been waking up with systolic in the 150s. I feel physically panicked all the time and it's starting to affect my sleep. I've already doubled my propranolol from 40 to 80, I take klonopin and prazosin daily as well, and I've added clonidine and antihistamines to also try to keep it lowered. Even taking all of those at once it barely makes a difference.I have a good life right now i can't think of any stressors other than being in love, but I feel like I can't do anything or be there for anyone because my body is fucking panicking 24-7 nowI can't do this much longer. It's obviously not an emergency but I feel awful not at all being in control of my body. It's like something flipped the fight or flight switch and it's stuck on high. This does not reflect my mental state at all.
