It really sounds like the most likely culprits are drug interaction and massive herx----probably both at once. Arghhh!
It is really concerning though that you are still have symptoms and high BP. That needs to get under control (the bp, I mean). So you need to see whatever doctor deals with that. As beaches, or someone else) mentioned, you may need a change of bp meds.
But everything has to be checked for interactions and side-effects, of course.
As I mentioned, some simple detox would help if part of it is a huge herx, as I am guessing it is----but only part of it. Lemon in water is a simple one that shouldn't cause more symptoms.
Someone needs to get to the bottom of this! Doctors----yeeesh!

I went to a local health food store. the woman claims to have known and follows cowden protocol. she said it was a massive yeast herx complicated by lyme.
she has seen several people become violently ill when drs treat lyme too aggressively and the patient has yeast and other health issues.
her recommendation is detox. baths,water, herbal drops, and she said some people benefit from foot detox and coconut oil swishing.
also it may take several weeks to months to recover.
no abx but some other lyme treatment such as buhner or cowden and a natural yeast treatment but only after I recover.
she seemed knowledgeable and didnt push anything. I'm glad I had Baylor tho.
ohbp today is coming down. in the 130s and 120s but still have ear pain.
yeah no more uti.
never again.

I once went to ER. I thought too I was dying in the ambulance. My body got totally paralyzed, I couldn't breath, my heartbeat went up. I felt like dying.
That was the beginning of my lyme treatment.
Too many killers, even if I was taking ONLY herbs. I added too much andrographis, and was not consuming the LOADS of chlorella and MSM (sulphur) as I should (I didn't know much about detox or herxes then).
since then I noticed that high BP was mostly a herx for me. Heart symptoms though were also lyme related. Headaches, almost always a herx too.
I have high BP almost always EXCLUSIVELY when I'm killing infections, be that borrelia or yeast, fungi, babs or something else. Never in normal days, when I'm not fighting infections.
The nausea, I had on and off during lyme, and it had to do with infections (I know babesia caused me nausea, and I even can't stand sunlight when babesia is active or I just puked). Or other infections too.
Since that night in the ER, I got very afraid of lyme. In fact, only later, I discovered that what sent me to the ER was merely an excess of killers, not exactly lyme itself.
Later, I read a couple of articles about herxheimer, that it CAN kill. I'm sure many die of herxheimer reactions, not of infections.
Toxins, according to dr. K., are the culprit for MOST of your symptoms. It's not the infections. If a body detoxes well, it won't get chronically ill with infections.
I learned that the bad way. After that, I concentrated on detoxing, balancing. Then you can add killers, whatever they are, and you keep improving. Without a massive detox substances, you kill, but you don't get forward.
I'm glad that you survived! Just do not forget detoxing!
