I had a bad AD episode a few weeks ago after my shower. It was from pain caused by hemorrhoids. For about 1 ½ weeks to 2 weeks my body was then hypersensitive to any stimulus such as transferring to the bed, taking my shoes off, putting sling under me before transfer, etc……..It also happened a year ago after my cath stopped up and caused the hypersensitivity as well. My blood pressure would go up and pounding headache that was unbearable
My doctor’s PA felt the headache was causing the high blood pressure and consulted w/ my dr and they ended up putting me on high blood pressure medicine. Hypersensitivity is gone now but medicine says stopping abruptly could cause heart attack….i have dr appt April 1st and will be asking for nitroglycerin as this is what I had on hand just after my injury when AD was frequent.

Thankfully my roomate had some nitroglycerin which immediaetly helped. I've only experienced this once before about 20 yrs. ago. Have any of you had to go to the hospital for that? When do you know to seek medical help? I'm still a little shakey. Meredith
