tp,

Before the expense of Frova, you may find help from L-Tryptophan or 5-HTP. Go easy with the 5-HTP as the body does not know how to regulate it if too much is taken. L-Tryptophan is the precursor to 5-HTP and the body recognizes it better and regulates it properly. It is harder to find than 5-HTP.

Frova is a drug that tries to act like 5-HTP.

High blood pressure is often due to an imbalance of epinephrine and norepinephrine. They are needed in proper balance to regulate blood pressure.

There are plenty of simple BP meds that may help during attacks. Propanolol and atenolol are common beta-blockers. I have them in the medicine cabinet for extreme situations. The latter is slower acting.

Hawthorne tea or berry extract can help.

My best to you.
