High Blood Pressure After Starting Chemotherapy

I was on taxol for 9 weeks. Hair loss was the main problem and just feeling awful. No BO problems.

My systolic BP has definitely been 30+ points higher than my normal. You need to be sure to address with your oncologist again, especially if you become symptomatic - headache, blurred vision, swelling, etc.

Yes I discussed it today and that is exactly what my oncologist said especially if you become symptomatic with a headache ,blurred vision and if my BP gets over 160/90 with new extra Blood Pressure medications my medical team has prescribed . Wonder if having a power port Cather increases Blood Pressure also. Praying BP gets back to a safe level so I can complete my chemo infusions.

High blood pressure during chemotherapy treatment is a concern that many patients experience, and bringing this up with your medical team is really important. The combination of treatment effects and managing existing health conditions can feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with such significant blood pressure readings. Your healthcare team will be the best resource for discussing alternative medications or adjustments to help manage both your treatment and blood pressure safely. Many patients find that their medical teams can work together to find solutions that address both cancer treatment goals and cardiovascular health - have others in this community had similar experiences with blood pressure management during treatment?
