I have never heard of this maybe someone else has and they will post, I would get in to a doctor asap just my opinion maybe it has nothing to do with the pills and you should talk to a doctor just to be safe. I Know anxiety is normal after tapering down or going off but this doesnt sound like anxiety.
Have you ever had any issues like this in the past or a family member that has. I am babbling I Know just thinking it has nothing to do with the pills and could be something else I would get checked out by a doctor. Good luck and let me know how you are doing:)

I would get checked out by your doctor.  There may be more going on.  I know that some have trouble with their blood pressure when going off opiates.  I would be safe and see the doc.
