Hi Kim,
You mentioned swelling. Lots of times the doctors prescribe Prednisone to get rid of swelling. I had about 4 months worth of 40mg of Prednisone a day, and 5 days after I tapered off of it, my CH started. Were you taking Prednisone for a while? My blood pressure is on the low normal side. I used to have very low blood pressure and still had CH. We had a survey last week and some of us had high and others low. We even tried to relate it to if high folks used cold or heat to treat the CH. But we couldn't get a consensus on that either. Hope your doc can help you.
