I am trying deep breaths and more water but doesn't seem to help. I am also taking my blood pressure measurements and only other med I am on is lisinopril for bp which I have been on well before CRPS with no ill effects.
Maybe it's the LDN?

I got symptoms like it, and more (involvement of ear + throwing up) a long time after I was on pain medications, many years after. I am glad they didn't just say it could be a side-effect of medications (by that time it was impossible). The doctors investigated fully. I have Menière's on top of it all, turns out.

But do have it checked out properly.
