Gave my doctor a demo!

I had an appointment today at 11 am with my doctor. It was just a follw up to see how the Verapamil is working for me. It's working OK but I'm only at 180mg twice a day. They've gone fom 4 a day to 2 and on some lucky days only one at night. Still very intense when they do hit though.
So I got to the office and had to wait a few minutes and I could feel that sharp pain at the inner corner of my eyebrow and that popping sensation that I get. (Is that the blood vessel expanding or what?) By the time I was in the exam room I was up to a 7 headed to an 8. I was digging in my bag for my Zomig when he walked in. I chewed the pill and swallowed it and proceded to give him quite a scare. He got the works, the red eye , runny nose, sweating head, rocking, trying to push my eyeball through my head, for at least 15 mins till the zomig did it's magic.
So, long story short, he won't give me more Verapamil cause even after all that my BP was only 86/60. He says if he gives me more I could pass out somewhere. So he put me on a course of Prednisone, loaded me up with Zomig samples, did an EKG, scheduled a CT head scan, and told me if the Prednisone doesn't help by next week he's refering me to a neuro.
He said, "Not that you didn't before, but holy shit, you got my attention now!" So if any of you can time your appointments right a little demo works wonders.
I gotta go to work, I'll check in later. els

The question is: what is your BP, when on Verapamil and you are NOT having an attack?
If it is as low as you report, then his concern is valid. However, if it's in the normal range, then I'd want to negiotiate with him to continue the Verap.
