I was put on dialysis about four months ago. I am taking many blood pressure meds. When I go for treatment at the dialysis center my bp spikes and I can not relax. I am worried all of the time and tense about my health and fear the worse about my condition. This dialysis is all new to me and came on very suddenly, I am only 67 and not ready to die yet. I hydrazaline lisinipril, coreg and sometimes clonidine for bp. would this help me. my husband is ptsd and it seems to benefit him better than hydroxyzene
