Has anyone developed hypertension during Chemo? My diastolic number crept up into the 90's while on taxol/herceptin (steriods, benydryl, etc) and has not come back down. I've been off taxol for 2 months and onc thought it would have come down by now. Thinks perhaps I should go on low dose bp meds. Can anyone tell me if they experienced this and what treatment if any, or did bp come back down eventually. Problem not related to herceptin.

Thanks,

Sassy
