Hmm. Parnate is known (rarely?) to cause spontaneous hypertensive crisis (i.e. symptoms similar to eating tyramine without eating tyramine). I had some BP spikes about 2 months after starting Parnate and had to come off (unfortunately, because it was really helping).
You may want to get a 24h blood pressure monitoring system (in consultation with a cardiologist) to see if there are any irregularities throughout the day. Never hesitate to go to the hospital / call 911 for anything heart related.
I would just want to ensure that it isn't somehow related to parnate and that it doesn't occur again.
Have you ever taken nardil? It may be an alternative (I know parnate, for some reason, can cause strange BP swings even in the seeming absence of tyramine. But, I don't know the incidence and/or triggers).
