Heart Issues with Long Term Herceptin Use
August 2015 I was diagnosed with MBC, mets to the bones, 5 dermoid benign ovarian cysts, and high blood pressure. My baseline echo & EKG were perfect. After being on Herceptin for 5 months (I am still on it every 2 weeks), my EF dropped and BP went up. Not being able to take Lisinopril because it gives me a nasty cough Cardiologist put me on Valsartan and Metoprolol. I go for an echo every 6 months, the ticker is back to normal, my dizziness and headaches are gone.
