I always seem to get AD in episodes. I'll go a few months with nothing but a few moderately high blood presure events, then suddenly, i start getting the real high blood presure and the seizures and stuff, but docs say take atenelol, and check bowels, bladder and sources of pain. The folks in the ER are just about useless until your stroking or your heart is in some major malfunction. Never thought about taking nitro. The side effects of some pain meds can trigger AD. Isn't that a crock.

Does the AD go completely away after you relieve the cause? Derrick, I've had a few A.D. attacks. They were from a kinked foley & once from a bad bag that had a fold at the top & wouldn't let anything drain. Mine went away within a couple minute, although from such a terrible headache,,,I would get sleepy afterwards. I don't believe it lingers for anyone after relieving the cause. Sounds like you have something else going on. Diane
