Thanks for your reply! I did not mention that when my BP spikes, my sob increases. Clonidine relieves that.
I understand that drug opens cardio arteries. Is this right?

@jasparhunter I don't know much about the drug, though if it does open up arteries, that would seem to make sense that it would relieve the sense of air hunger. Dyspnea has a variety of causes since breathing has to do with the lungs, heart, blood, and other things. So it could be that if your heart is having to work extra hard, it could lead to a shortness of breath or dyspnea sensation.
