Fasolodex shots

Tychad

Has anyone heard that fasoldex shots can raise your blood pressure. Does any body have or had this problem. If so I would appreciate any comments. I was suppose to get my fasolodex shot today but my blood pressure was too high. And the doctor said she couldn’t give it to me with my pressure that high. Thanks rhond

I don't know that Faslodex itself can raise blood pressure. Mine is always on the high side, despite medication, and it rises in the oncologist's office. I get my vitals taken between my blood draw and Faslodex injection, so timing might be part of the problem. It's been really high sometimes, but no one's batted an eye. They probably attribute it to "white coat syndrome" if they think about it at all. It's never prevented me from receiving the injections.

Why don't you have your primary physician check yours?
