Does Paclitaxel have an effect on Blood Pressure?

Soon after I started Paclitaxel, I was feeling light headed at times. I have hypertension, and needed a decrease in medication. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I have 5 more Chemo ...

Dear Ween,
That's great news about the genetic testing. Onward we go. How many more Paclitaxels have you got to go?
I'm  starting to look forward to the end of Chemo. 3 weekly to go. I'm very lucky and have never felt sick, but my taste buds are off, since Paclitaxel. Today nothing tastes right. I have still managed to gain weight. throughout.  Still, I'm looking forward to enjoying the taste of food after Chemo. 
Good luck with the rest of your treatment too.
