Hi @rogerstc, according to this article about Lanreotide from Mayo Clinic
"This medicine may increase your risk for heart and blood vessel problems, including hypertension and a slow heartbeat. This may cause chest pain or discomfort, headaches, dizziness, or blurred vision. You might need to measure your blood pressure at home. If you think your blood pressure is too high or if your heartbeat is too slow, call your doctor right away."

Roger, did you talk to your oncologist about your blood pressure? What is being suggested?

My oncologist referred me to my primary care doctors. He eventually switched my bp meds because the one i was taking interacted with Lanreotide. Bp numbers are now normal.
