Boy Cheryl, you sure make me feel lucky.
I nearly blacked out several times during cycle 5 of TCH. Had a rush MUGA scan that was normal. Turns out that my high blood pressure (for which I had been on daily pills for years) was suddenly and without warning.. very LOW blood pressure.
Very strange. Now per my primary care dr, I take a BP pill only when my BP is too high (over 150 for the first number). As a result, I've only taken about one pill every 4-5 weeks for the last 6 months. Isn't that a wierd side effect of chemo?
It may have simply aggravated a condition you've had but never known about. It's good you have it under control.
