blood pressure elevating

[sassy]

Has anyone experience an elevation in blood pressure during herceptin/taxol treatment? Mine has been going up (especially lower number) since starting this treatment. Have read that steriods may play a part and I have increased intake of salt since taste buds have not been working as well. Anybody have any experience with this. Nurse mentioned it at treatment this week and I will speak with onc next week also?

Yes, Sassy, my blood pressure was on the rise as well. Just so happens that I went on some cardiac meds about the same time to help boost my EF which in turn took care of the blood pressure.

Stay on top of it.
