Thank you all!!! I have a virtual meeting w/my endocrinologist in one week. My cardiologist has not pursued anything beyond conventional BP treatment and this is not doing the job, not even close. But my endocrinologist has already mentioned thinking about clonidine for me and I just got xanax from my PCP. I asked for it after reading these posts which are so helpful and appreciated. I am this morning on xanax for the first time and it helps...really helps. I now feel like there is hope for a solution, ie, something I can live with. I will post on my meeting and next steps. Thank you all again.
