Since my treatments my blood pressure goes up. I always had 65-120 but now it it 95-140 and more.
Anybody with tips how to get this down? With it without pills?
My oncologist put me on meds (Lisinopril) to control high BP caused by Avastin.
Sorry to hear about your increased BP. Are you fit enough to do a mile or two of gentle walk everyday? I know gentle exercise can lower BP.
It still is not so high. If you do not go up much more than 140, you are not in much danger. I am taking avastin,and am on blood pressure medication,but mine goes up to 185, Ihave to.
Get a prescription from your PCP for blood pressure reducer. Mine works well.
Funny. I got off of taxol and only on Avastin. I was going up to 170 or 180, quite high, but now after my 3rd (poss. Forth) with only avastin ( a higher dose of course), and my blood pressure is going down to 142 or so in the evening before I take the evening meds.
