considering that your body can react in all kinds of alarming ways to severe pain.

As long as you've had other possibilities ruled out, so you know you're "just" dealing with IBS, I'd assume any scary BP and related isues in the midst of an attack are stemming from the attack itself.

Excluding pregnancy and birth (last time was fifteen years ago), both my blood sugar and my BP has always been well within the normal range. It tends to stay around the 120/60 range. I do get hypoglycemic attacks but only when my sugar gets dangerously low. I've always been hot-natured so for me I guess that's "normal". According to the doctor, my heart is healthy. I do take thyroid medicine...crap, maybe I should have mentioned the wonky thyroid earlier. I'm old, so I forget stuff. But even having been on synthroid for a year now, I still get hot. That may have to do with hormones...IDK. I'm a mess, I guess.

Now that you mention it, whenever I've had any situation that involves either severe pain or a severe body reaction of whatever kind, I get incredibly hot and sweaty and flushed. Guess that's just my body's reaction. I kinda wish it went the other direction!
