I am taking 40 mg Parnate. Once, I ate some chicken nuggets that had been in the fridge. I had a headache, and my blood pressure went up to 150/90. It is usually 105/60. So it was no big deal and went away in an hour. As long as you don't deliberately ignore the diet restrictions, the chances of anything more than a minor increase in blood pressure (like mine) is pretty rare. If the medicine works well, it may be worth taking the small risk.
