Are you on a blood thinner? Last year I had an afib event that lasted for four days. Pulse 175 standing, 150 sitting and 125 laying down. Just what you need to have a stroke. Because I was on blood thinner there were no side effects. Was in the hospital for all four days. My oncologist pulled me off Zytiga immediately.

I am taking Pradaxa which can be reversed if you have to go in for surgery. The only drawback is that I can only take one alcohol drink a day, now I take about one a week, used to have a drink every night and wine or beer with dinner. I miss those margaritas.

I got a blood pressure monitor that syncs to my phone. According to the latest AHA guidelines, your blood pressure should be below 120, and if mine is above that the monitor shows as elevated. If 130 or above it shows as hypertension stage one.

The thing is you want to stay on Zytiga as long as possible, before moving on to the next drug a lutamide, gives you the best chance of a long life

Of course doctors consider a blood pressure in the 130’s to be pretty normal if you’re over 70.
