I think one issue is, how _many_ little things are you eating plus the meds you're taking that can each contribute and add up to a reaction. Most of the time my BP is about what you'd expect for an overweight sedentary guy with moderate cholesterol. But early this morning it was up in the 180/100 region. I posted details below (today's date). Reflecting, I think it was just one too many things, mostly harmless one at a time, taken all together.
I'm taking an MAOI (oral selegeline @ 10 mg/day) plus several AD meds which CAN interact with it. I've eaten blue cheese -- and olives -- before with no noticeable problems. I think what pushed me over the line into a crisis last night was likely the combined effects of insomnia, trimipramine (which I only take occasionally), and oinking out on a late-night snack of blue cheese.
