I have PV was on hydrox 500mg 7 day a week and three of those days a total of 1000mg. I had high blood pressures prior to diagnosis then numbers came down my blood pressure crashed...I'm now under the care of a Nephrologist who has cut my BP medication down to the lowest level. My PV numbers are down however my blood pressure continues to be a problem, some days I don't need any bp medication. My hematologist says she's never seen hypotention with PV however she dropped by hydrox to 500mg three times a week and my numbers are good...I'm a retired Nursing director of trauma and it seems to me as my PV numbers come down so would the hypertension. Has anyone with PV experienced Blood pressure issues? I understand PV is one of the orphan blood cancers and having difficulty finding others with PV....I have no other comorbitities. I take
one baby asa each evening....only system is fatigue sometimes extreme...Can't tell if its the PV or labile Blood pressure......

One more thing, I drink a good 10 glasses of water every day throughout the day.
