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
