ADT and raised blood pressure anyone?
I am routinely on medication ( daily Bisoprolol ( beta -blocker ) for mild hypertension, but two months in from my first ADT jab ( Decapeptyl ) it is in the region of 165/175. My GP has prescribed Lercandipine to run alongside the Bisoprolol but it seems to have no effect. Anyone here had a similar experience? Thanks.

My pleasure Pressure became high when I added abiraterone to my ADT. Not even close to as high as yours is. Even though it’s not as high, I was put on three different blood pressure medicines a beta blocker (metoprolol), Diltiazem and Losartan. After stopping taking abiraterone I still stayed on the blood pressure medication and now my blood pressure is closer to 105/60.
You may need to be in contact with the cardiologist to handle this problem. It is recommended that prostate cancer patients work with a cardiologist once they start the drugs.

“ My pleasure Pressure became high ”
Should’ve read
My blood pressure became high
I use voice recognition and it is not always accurate. I always reread what it wrote, but this was missed, obviously! I hate when that happens.
