Tyson,

Sorry you had to go to the hospital again!

This might seem far-off/naive, but have you been watching your salt intake? I ask because when I'd make the mistake of eating something salty (because it was scrumptious), I'd get dizzy and feel this intense pressure in my head...I don't have a BP monitor, but in retrospect, I think that my BP was probably really high...I know that because when I'd go for plex, sometimes my BP would be as high as yours when I'd have one of these episodes while there, and prior, I had eaten something salty...I'd end up with pounding headaches for the rest of the day...

Also, when I was in the hospital and had just started prednisone, the food they gave me was salty and sweet...I think that they forgot that I was supposed to be on a low-salt/sugar diet...I didn't really know this at the time either, so had no complaints....

Nicky
