I just rode it out. My cousin is a massage therapist, and she tried to help, but nothing did. I finally left early, and by the time I got home my BP was running about 129/75, which is a tiny bit high for me, but still normal.

Thanks, gg.I went out to dinner tonight and I looked at the menu as if I were on Parnate already. I thought I understood what was safe and what wasn't but then I looked at the menu and it was all a blur to me. I got very scared that I wouldn't be able to handle this. Were you overwhelmed at first too? Also, how much nifedipine do you carry with you? How much would you take if you were to experience a problem?
