Hi Rhonda,

I just did this for the first time last weekend and watched everything like a hawk. I wound up with a big headache and my Bp never went over 120/70
I usually run 110-115/68-70. So in my case the BP had nothing to do with the headache and I drank many quarts in a day.

I believe it is part of the reaction to it. I plan on doing more benadryl. the hospital only gave it to me 1hr before the start. I had to ask for it later on when my vein got itchy.

When I do it at home I am gonna start benadryl the night before and stay on it til its done as many have advised. see ya-tim

I had this all the time during my first year. My BP got so low at times that I would literally pass out if I stood up. Then if I excurted myself my Bp would hit the rooof, but usually it was very low. The docs finally gave me a device to monitor myself….. Scary. Please sit on the side of the bed until you feel normal before you get up. It really does help. xoxoxooxoxox Roxie
