Hi, I have type 1 diagnosed at age 60. I was given ddavp prior to dental surgery and had a horrible reaction. Gained 11 lbs overnight and sodium dropped very low. Was in the hospital 3 days to get labs back to normal. Next dental surgery I was given “1/2” dose and told I should be ok. The next day my blood pressure started going up to 220/122 and had horrible headaches. BP continued to go up and down for 2 weeks. One day it gave my symptoms of a stroke and was back in the hospital. Nobody could figure out why this happened but I can never take ddavp again. Anyone ever had a similar reaction? Thanks.
