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!

- Just reading ur blog about high blood pressure with tamoxifen. Ill be going on it for 10 years as soon as my radiotherapy finishes in 6 weeks so I hope I don't get high blood pressure. Also just wondering when you mentioned weight gain was that due to going on to tamoxifen. You must be so strong to battle bc twice like you have Tonya. After your 1st diagnosis & treatment the doctor didn't out you on tamoxifen. ..or wasn't around back then. I appreciate any information you'd like to share with me. Take care jackie
Happy birthday for last week. Hope you enjoyed your chocies and hope you ate them all before they went stale. Did you get spoilt , hope so as us women deserve it. By the way my blood pressure is up 127/98. My Doctor doesnt seem to worried though, so i dont think it is the tamoxifen.
Hope everything is going fine with you. I have just past my 1 year and am waiting on my results to come back for the mamogram. Strangly enough the radioligist let me see the pictures on the screen and with what i saw it didnt look good. But she wouldnt say. My boob looks like there has been a vulcano in there and there is a huge hole at the top of the volcano. Hmmm i dont think i should have looked cause i saw things that were probably normal but not in my eyes if you know what i mean. Well better go, so stay safe and i will talk soon
cheers Joxx
More walking and more willpower I think. Happy birthday for tomorrow. XLeonie
That mouth taping diet sounds good -think my husband would like me on that one!! Well I have no hope over this weekend as it's my birthday and have lots of yummy treats organized for me.Got given a big box of chocolates today from my father in law - they'll have to be eaten cos you know how quickly chocies go stale! I mostly blame my husband for this weight gain - he is always suggesting a cappucino or fish n chips etc if we are out.He never puts on weight. I need more will power.I've told myself I can't buy anymore clothes until I lose some kilos.Ok Leonie,I'll take up the challenge with you for October - will try for a 5 kilo loss.Now where's that duck tape!

Hi Tonya, I have set a goal to have my weight down for the Sydney conference. So as soon as I return from my wine swigging, food indulgent, non stop tongue wagging trip to Bendigo, I am into the exercise regime and mouth taping diet!!! In Sydney if you don't see a trim, youthful cosmetically enhanced ME then it didn't work!!!!! XLeonie PS I will still be lovable though.

Actually my bp has been normal for the last few weeks-just had afew high readings.Mabe if I lost some weight it might help - so hard though.

- I had high blood pressure before bc, whilst having treatment my bp dropped so much so that I stopped all medication. Then started on tamoxifen and it came back up again Not sure if it's because if tamoxifen or the treatment finishing. Hope you are well Xxxxx
