Flori -
I'm on avastin also. I do have nose bleeds too - but not often & usually only when I blow my nose. Sometimes with clots, but usually only a few days after I've had treatment. Mine aren't bad enough to consider doing anything about them.
The blood pressure has been a bigger issue for me. My b/p has always been low - 110/60 or so. It was climbing up to 165/94. I started having lots of shortness of breath & cardiac issues showing up on echo scans. I wrote about those on another thread. My onc. started me on benicar 10mg for b/p. It has brought my b/p down quickly & I've had no s/e. My insurance won't let me stay on benicar so next week I switch to lisinopril 10 mg. My shortness of breathe is virtually gone. I see the cardiologist for a follow-up on Thurs. & will give an update of what I learn.
