I've been having trouble with AD for the past 14 months after having a SP cath put in. The first few days after the catheter is changed, AD occurs every 10 minutes or so. Transferring in and out of my chair also sets it off. When getting dressed, any contact to the groin area also sets it off. The only thing that gets rid of it is to lay on my side. Blood pressure gets up to 180/120. Local Doctors are clueless. The supposed "good" doctors are 3 hours away, I'm afraid of trying to travel that far.
