My blood pressure went from normal to high since being on Herceptin. 159/90 was not unusual for me. I monitor it at home now and it IS lower when I am not in the Dr.'s office. Just being there stresses me out.... I do have to think this is emotional blood pressure, along with reaction to weight gain with treatment. I have tried to walk and kayak whenever I can squeeze them in.
