I have often wondered the same thing Paco..in fact, I scares me with the Imitrex because using something to keep constricting my blood vessels all the time...and using verapamil to keep them open...I never used to have high blood pressure, in fact mine was super low. Now, it is running high and I am on verapamil. Some of this , I am sure, is because of the Imitrex but even when I am not taking it, it runs higher than it used to. What happens to a muscle when we don't use properly? It becomes flaccid and weak...atrophy sets in....so do our blood vessels stop working properly because of the medications we are taking? I have to think they do affect them in some ways. It is scary. smiles,nancyc
