you have covered most of the bases covering the sudden blood pressure for Quads. What you haven't mentioned was what your primary doctor is saying or doing regarding your newest symptoms and that is more important then our speculations.

I have had my C-5 injury short of twenty years now. In this time I have become familiar with low blood pressure. To help I have taken Ephedrine, Modderin and Espresso coffee. The abdominal binder is a major help This past year there has been an increase in episodes of nearly passing out, or whiting out as I describe. Fortunate for me is the tilt on my wheelchair where I have been increasingly spending much of my time. Lately if I begin talking I be come faint. I am worrying that something else is going on but wonder if this is common amongst older quads.
