I forgot to mention 2 things- ATIVAN -I should also have said that the drunk symptoms came on fairly rapidly. I let 15 min go by before lying down. When that caused the head pressure to increase, I took a .5 ativan b/c I know it can be a mast cell stabilizer and its helped me with this before.(I use .5 ativan at night for sleep disorder). Within 20 min. I felt much better and by an hour later I was pretty much back to normal other than the crazy blood pressures were happening. So, is this likely MCAS and if so, what did I do to trigger the granulation?
SUGAR READINGS are also fluctuating – I often have hypoglycemia in the mornings (3.2-3.8) and my usual after meal level is still low (mid 5’s). But today my hubby wondered if my episode was actually a hypoglycemic reaction and took my glucose reading and it was higher than we would have expected (6.3).
I haven’t eaten much today for fear the mental/neurological symptoms will occur again which they now are but probably due to NOT EATING. Now my glucose is 8.3! What???
Just wanted to give you all info in case its relevant. If you have any thoughts as to what’s happening, please let me know. BIG THANKS.
