Were the A/D's you were using (prior to Cymbalta) not working so well? If so, or if something in them disagreed with your body, it may be that Cymbalta is the ticket (for reducing your bp).

I tried Prozac for about 6 weeks one time and I thought I was having a heart attack. My chest hurt all the time, I felt anxious (for the first time in my life), and I felt palpitations almost 24 X 7. I never had that problem with Celexa or Wellbutrin though. No doubt my bp was skyrocketing with the Prozac though.

I was having high cholesterol prior to LDN, and since then, have had no problem what-so-ever. Some others that I know have had the same results . . . but not everyone.

Every drug effects each of us differently, and the disease does too. Since inflammation does not cause an upward change to MY bp, it doesn't mean it won't to yours. I think it would be a shot in the dark to assume that's the reason for the change though, unless most everyone was experiencing this.
