> Well, my Nardil dose was increased from 75mg to 90mg. An hour after taking this, I developed a slight tingling in the back of my head, and some chest pains. My BP was about 189/99. After a few minutes it dropped to 160/87. I haven't re-tested it yet (this is about 20m since the elevation). I'm wondering when, or if, I should go to the hospital. How serious is this? If it goes down, I don't want to go.
Id go now. Your systolic pressure is way too high. You need to get this checked out. If you dont want to go to the ER, could you call your family physician and request an immediate visit?
This is nothing to mess with...
