    I was hospitalised before by ambulance purely for a hypertensive crisis and heart palpitations, no other concerning symptoms. Magnesium infusion sorted it out, felt so much better after that.

    It came out of nowhere, couldn’t sleep due to heart palpitations so I checked BP and it was wildly high along with pulse. Root cause was essentially C677T homozygous SNP, taking methylated folate and b12, and trimethylglycine helps a lot and prevents further episodes

      That’s “high BP” + “palpitations so unbearable you can’t sleep”, not just “high BP”, so unfortunately your case does not meet the requirements for counterexample. Nonetheless, that shit does suck to go through and I’m glad you got immediate medical intervention.

      Yeah, heart palpitations would be a great example of a symptom associated with markedly elevated bp that indicates you should be treated emergency. I’m glad you got effective treatment.
