Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Dear Matt & Suzzie, I'm with you on the blood pressue bit. I never had a problem with my blood pressure until I started the CML drugs. I don't know how many people have an issue with this, but it would be nice to know how many do, so please pop your head in and say you have the same problem, then we can tell our doctors about our poll. Thanx. Blessings, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Lottie, I have been taking meds for my bp for a few years now but it was never real high so I am on a low dose just to keep it regulated. However, the last time I went to see my Dr, it was up to 139/90. It has not been that high on the bottom for a long time. My Dr didn't seem to be concerned though so maybe it is normal. I wake up just about every morning with a very bad headache so I'm not sure if that is from the bp or from the Gleevec.
