I messed up and ate some dark chocolate, high in anti-oxidants and forgot it has caffeine in it. I stopped coffee. The high heart rate was awful. Will be extra careful. I have to be careful with low blood pressure too. The para sympathetic nervous system can drop it fast. I passed out for hour and half.60/40 My Dr. says becareful about dropping you head, I'm care about washing hair, shopping, watch how I bend down checking things out. Had to have hubby come and get me.
For stomach I eat Dannon Activa yogurt, oatmeal, mild foods. I just had a thorough check up for kidneys, liver, heart. All Ok. I've had this 13 years . I don't have panic attacks anymore since lorazepam, anti-anxiety med. I have my own blood pressure monitor and check it regularly. They aren't expensive at Costco.
Take care of yourself, your friend, loretta

Yes I monitor blood pressure regularly for about 3 months now.. Just wondering on the kidneys, I guess just changing your diet will do it or sometimes do we have to take meds for that? Yes my heart rate was about 120 or so so put me on metropolol 2 X day and the Benicar hct also makes my blood pressure too low/. my blood pressure 3 weeks now low been trying to get a doc to call me back it has been 80/50 and so forth// Thhe last gp I changed to let him review my records and he would get back to me, that was 3 weeks ago. So I am still waiting. Thanks for answering all my questions Loretta..
ps. raining here will write more tomorrow still at work.. Sunshine
