I would agree you are poorly controlled (as there is no really proper Dx, so nothing is controlled)...and yes, OI does get worse under these circumstances. BUT it is not within the guidelines of the typical OI.
Please post the link about high to higher BP for OI you are referencing. I'd be interested in reading/educating on this.

This friend sent this but I can't really see where it says about BP going up either? I think she's just got confused. Tell me if you see anything - my concentration is right off just now. I know I have something that is wrong with my autonomic responses but it isn't following any obvious pattern at all it seems.
