Has anyone found out that they have high blood pressure after having some chemotherapy treatments? I have had to be put on blood pressure medicine.

I am receiving Avastin which raises my blood pressure. Was on meds for high blood pressure many years ago that was under control. Back on lisinopril.

Thanks for responding Jlhardin15. I am glad that I am not the only one that had to be put on high blood pressure medicine. I was worried about it, but it seems to help lower my blood pressure which is great.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
