I had increased heart palpitations and my blood pressure went up 30 points with a very small dose of Xanax. It also made my GERD much worse. I felt better (except for the stomach which is still killing me) about 5 hours later except for a complete emotional meltdown.
They were wanting to give me something to LOWER my blood pressure during a medical procedure and this was the drug they chose. I was told to "test" it and see if it made me sleepy. They didn't want me falling asleep. To be fair, it might have partially been a reaction to the clonidine they gave me 24 hours before to quickly lower my blood pressure.
