I too am having higher blood pressure since starting Herceptin in early September and this concerns me especially with my mother's history of heart problems which was the cause of her death. I used to have a pressure of 108/64 give or take a little and last reading was 150/96. My onc put me on a diuretic and it came down the next time I tested it at Target. I go next Thursday for my next Herceptin drip so I am anxious to see if it is officially down at the onc's office. He was wishy washy about committing the increase to Herceptin which what else could it be is my feeling. By the way, I also lost about 7 pounds after going on the diuretic as well.
