What do you mean by smoked bacon? Just regular Armour bacon 'cuz I eat that too and I wouldn't think it was a NO-NO.

It's lucky you say the feeling passed in four hours but you should have called your doc or a friend at the very least, although that would have ended up with a visit to the ER and all that that entails.

Were you serious about wanting to die? What would be worse would be having a stroke and being unable to speak or move one side and living like that. I think that would be worse than dying so you're lucky you didn't have that happen to you.

You doc sounds somewhat naive about the MAO's, I wonder how many users of these meds are given something to counteract the hypertensive reaction should one occur.

I hope Parnate is working great despite that scarey reaction you had. You are lucky to have come out of that. Did you ever check your BP at all that week. Have you ever thought about getting a BP cuff to check it if this occurs again? No one really knows what kind of reaction they are having unless they are able to know how high their BP is. It all depends on the food you eat and how much of it. Yours might have gone up but not as high as some reactions, but with the
vomiting and all I think your BP was probably seriously high.

My reaction went to 230/130 but I had Nifedepine which brought it down in about an hour. Between the pill and the BP cuff I was able to avoid the ER and perhaps death or a stroke.

Happy you are still with us, Miss Julie.
