I'm glad emmanuel brought up the possibility of spoiled lamb. I was afraid to, since I thought you might have made the lamb yourself, and I thought Am I supposed to accuse reflecting of intentionally preparing and eating spoiled meat? :D
But yeah, something weird in the marinade or spoiled meat. And no way of knowing, since you didn't make it, so I guess just cross buying that lamb off the list of things you can eat.
> I plan to get some Valium now such that I can use them sublingual in a hypertensive case...I read that this lowers blood pressure (and the anxiety of course which itself increases the blood pressure).
Gah, another pdoc afraid to give a patient an emergency hypertension pill! I'm afraid the valium won't cut it; it will help calm you down, but won't do much for the blood pressure in a serious tyramine hypertensive crisis.
Try suggesting chlorpromazine (aka Thorazine in the US), that's a popular choice now that all the doctors are afraid of nifedipine. The thorazine has pretty strong alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocking action, which would be a major side-effect if you were taking it as an antipsychotic; but in the case of maoi tyramine hypertension, it's not a bug, it's a feature.
The pdocs are all afraid that if they give you a real anti-hypertension drug you'll take too much of it, or will take it in a panic when you don't actually have a hypertensive crisis. The thorazine is safe enough that it shouldn't put you into a serious case of hypotension, even if you take it when you're not in the middle of a real tryamine induced hypertensive episode.
