Can lemon verbena help control high blood pressure?
It does have a few warnings about over-imbibing, as Lemon Verbena tea can be relaxing to the point of making it a bad idea to drive or operate machinery after drinking a great deal of it. It is alleged to lower blood pressure, slow heartbeat, & ease cramps or indigestion, though excessive use can have the opposite effect of stomach irritation.

Random high blood pressure, heart rate, and dizziness.?
All of this started new years, 2010, and has been chronic between new years and mid-february. It lightened up for a month and a half and has just returned the 26th of March. My heart rate before all this started was in the 60-80bpm range resting, and 70-90bpm range standing. Now, at random times and random days, sometimes with a slow onset and sometimes all of a sudden.. my resting HR would be between 90 and 110, and between 120 and 130 standing. I have had multiple episodes where my heart rate would jump to 170 or 180 while just watching a movie or even while sleeping (I would wake up to a rapid heart rate). My blood pressure is typically between 110-130/60-80, but when the rapid heart rate comes, it would jump to 140-200/80-110, and usually resolve the same time the heart rate goes down. When my heart rate reaches the 130s to 140s, I would start to feel dizzy, sometimes with an unexplained pain (not too painful) above my heart, behind my rib cage. When it reaches between 150s and 160s, in addition to previous symptoms, I start feeling all tingly in my legs and my hands, feel slightly confused, and sometimes my neck would become stiff on the left side and hurt. When it reaches between the 170s and 180s, in addition to previous symptoms, I feel extremely cold, my legs start to shake uncontrollably, and I am in a state of complete confusion, I get spasms in my left eye, left cheek, and left jaw line, and things appear to move in a jerky way (as if it's a video which slows down due to congestion then speeds up to get back to real time, almost constantly in waves). During most of the more serious episodes, it always begins with a cold chill either in my arm, leg, or forehead. I have almost blacked out twice. My blood tests on 3 separate accounts were perfect, I have been tested for blood clots (via blood test, not sure how that works). I have had a chest X-Ray, a CT of my brain, and a echo before and after a stress test. Normal Arrhythmia, the only finding so far is that I have a bicuspid aortic valve which is congenital, so it wouldn't explain why all this started new years and not before then. I am alcohol free, smoke free, drug free, caffeine free, lactose free, and I have been on a low-fat low-sodium diet for 2 months now. I had my gall bladder removed at the beginning of October. No one seems to have answers, and I have lost my job and insurance due to this problem that won't go away.
