the Wellbutrin "may" be a factor. It raises dopamine and some people report heart side effects...rapid beats, etc.

The Cymbalta however is known to raise blood pressure in many patients. The Sudafed also if taken regularly will do it too.
If you recall, I did warn you about that factor.

When you are stressed...like with the IVIG...which seems to increase inflammation, this might raise cortisol, and that in turn will raise blood pressure in some people. Any big stressor will do it. Pain will raise blood pressure too.

So there are many factors for you to consider. This may be temporary for you, based on your recent medical stressors.
