Carla, What is your blood pressure when this is going on? If it's high, you might want to think about using some nitrogen cream to bring it down. There is obviously something triggering your body to react this way.
I have had tremendous problems with blood pressure over the last month and a half and when I am dysreflexic or partially dysreflexic it is often something to do with my bladder or my bowels. For instance, right now I'm having a little bit of a problem and I know it's definitely my bladder. I was at the doctor about a month and a half ago and they determined that I had a mild case of constipation, even though I was absolutely sure I didn't. I cleared my bowels using magnesium citrate and it did help for a couple of days.
