Bufotenin cardiovascular effects, anyone actually monitored BP and HR during it?

So I keep seeing bufotenin come up in discussions and the thing that jumps out at me is the cardiovascular profile. It apparently has strong peripheral effects on top of the central stuff, which sounds different from the other tryptamines where the BP and HR spikes are more about the intensity of the experience itself. Anecdotally I have seen people brush off the cardiovascular side of 5-MeO and DMT as just transient, and yeah the half-life is minutes so it passes quick. But bufotenin seems like it could hit harder in a way that matters if someone already has elevated BP or any kind of arrhythmia history.

Has anyone here actually taken blood pressure readings before, during, and after a bufotenin experience? I am curious whether the flushing and nausea track with a measurable BP spike or if it is more of a subjective thing. Also wondering if anyone has looked at whether the route matters here, like yopo snuff versus other methods, since the traditional use is nasal and that hits fast.

I am not planning to try this myself right now, just trying to understand the real risk profile versus the other short-acting tryptamines. Any actual numbers people have seen would be helpful.
