My hypertension is through the roof, the problem with it is, it’s usually too high for medical instruments to measure. I can’t take blood pressure meds because they upset my GI tract to the point I can’t digest food and I end up in the hospital. So, I have to learn to live with it.
I already suffer from dry throat so severe it wakes me up in agonizing pain most of the night, so CPAP therapy is out for me. Maybe I should try the self-chloroforming option that they used to use in the old west for sleep problems.
They make a clonidine patch. You may have significant gastritis which prohibits you from taking pills, might have that looked at. For the dry throat, they make a nose fitting for CPAP but now also have a device they install for the airway. There’s always a dental appliance as well but data is not as good as compared to CPAP. Let me know and maybe we can figure this out. Need that BP controlled
I do have significant gastritis, including eroded esophageal rings from too much acidity in my gut. I have a GI doctor but after extensive testing, he hasn’t found anything to explain my gut pain and constant gut distress.
I do need to get my BP controlled somehow, but the pills make things “down there” much worse. I’m not sure what alternatives are out there. I need to get back to a general MD and find out if something else is possible.

You try smoking weed? I’m just throwing it out there.
Tried it but it really never did much for me (plus honestly I can’t stand the smell of it).
I’ve tried sleeping pills also, and i’m not sure what’s supposed to happen, but it doesn’t.
