Persistent severe/ unstable asthma; 7. Subjects on beta blockers and/or ACE inhibitors; 8. Medical condition which in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the subject or confound study results (Subjects with the following conditions: chronic renal failure, CVA, cancer, spinal cord injury, diabetic neuropathy, recent anaphylaxis, limbs affected by lymphoedema, paralysis, or neurogenic abnormalities; 9. Diabetic (type 1 or 2); 10. Subjects taking the following: Antidepressants such as doxepin, other tricyclics, Phenothiazines, and tetracyclics within the last two weeks; 11.
