Tamoxifen and high blood pressure

Hi girls,

Just putting this question out there. Has anyone experienced their blood pressure going up on Tamoxifen?

I used to have VERY normal blood pressure but gradually it's been going up and up. I'm beginning to wonder if it's Tamoxifen - Hey, I blame it for everything else!

  • Thanks for your input ladies.As you say,there is often no explanation for these things.I'll be back to my doctor in a few weeks but in the meantime will try to lose some weight and start taking fish oil capsules.I've heard that can help.

  • Hi Tonya,

    I have recently started Tamoxifen.  I have high blood pressure which is controlled with a low dose medication.  Am waiting to see if the Tamoxifen has any impact.

    I used to have dead normal blood pressure till about 4 years when it changed - no idea why.  It is possible that the change is not due to Tamoxifen but to other things (eg, stress!).  It can be hard to untanble this stuff.

    Cheers, Esther
