high blood pressure during BEP

[jerrie85]

I was just like you, my BP was on the border of healthy/pre-hypertension. During chemo, it definitely trended up, and doctors didn't seem worried. Since completion, it has now gone back to normal

Mine was much higher during chemo than normal. I think nerves and drugs make this an issue. Something to look at but not be worried about.

Thanks for your input. I am glad I'm not alone. I think the overall anxiety of worrying about all the different things happening to my body is just starting to wear on me by now. Ready to get this over with!!

Hi everyone. I'm currently completing my second of 3 rounds of BEP. I've noticed since starting the treatment course that my blood pressure has been trending up at each visit, with my last test showing 154/82. I have had slightly high blood pressure in the past mainly due to stress and caffeine, however prior to starting treatment my normal blood pressure had been more in the 125-130/80 range. My doctor and most nurses just keep saying we should "keep an eye on it" but no one really seems very concerned. Is this something I should worry about? I know one reasoning given to me was that all the extra fluids could be causing the spike.
