They make a clonidine patch. You may have significant gastritis which prohibits you from taking pills, might have that looked at. For the dry throat, they make a nose fitting for CPAP but now also have a device they install for the airway. There’s always a dental appliance as well but data is not as good as compared to CPAP. Let me know and maybe we can figure this out. Need that BP controlled

I do have significant gastritis, including eroded esophageal rings from too much acidity in my gut. I have a GI doctor but after extensive testing, he hasn't found anything to explain my gut pain and constant gut distress.

I do need to get my BP controlled somehow, but the pills make things "down there" much worse. I'm not sure what alternatives are out there. I need to get back to a general MD and find out if something else is possible.
