Thanks for your replies. I want to stay on Arimidex, too, so hopefully the blood pressure can be brought down enough for that to happen.

My head also hurt in the back, but usually on just one side. My neck is quite stiff and sore, and the muscles across the top of the back get really sore. For a while I wondered if my fibromyalgia, which after the arrival of cancer was put on the back burner, was wanting more attention. The sticky pads that can be applied to muscles usually help quite a bit.

Last night my blood pressure was 160/100 which made me a bit nervous, expecially knowing that it has been going on for a maybe quite awhile without me realizing. I'm seeing a PA cardiologist tomorrow, so we'll see what she says.
