Hypertensive crisis from smoking rue?

Last night, I tried my hand at smoking some rue. I plan or planned to do it on my next mushroom trip, so I wanted to try it before doing it during an actual trip. However, after smoking a bit of it, I had to stop. I heard my heart pounding in my ears, my face felt swollen and was very flushed. My facial muscles felt stiff and rigid. I did not have a headache, but I felt a sort of pressure in my head. Luckily, it was gone quite soon, but the feeling was anything but nice.
Anyone know of this? Is this a hypertensive crisis? I thought they were near impossible to get with smoked harmala's?

You say it was gone quite soon, how long did those effects last until they subsided?
About how much rue do you think you smoked?
I've smoked rue many times, while sober as well as on all the classic psychedelics (including mescaline, which I did encounter a terrible headache, but it could have very well been from dehydration)...and I haven't run into any of those symptoms you describe .
I usually smoke a few big "pinches" worth, so probably no more than 0.25g in one sitting...

The strongest effects were gone after about 20-30 minutes, but the feeling still lingered on after that. I fell asleep and it was gone the next morning.
I put half a teaspoon in there, which I ground up a bit first. Not until powdery, but so the seed husks were already broken and wouldn't pop and crackle in the pipe. Those were placed on a bed of caapi leaves in my churchwarden. I didn't even smoke all of the rue I put in the pipe, maybe 2/3. I also had no psycho-active effects from it at all. The smoke was very hot and irritating to lungs and throat.
