Increase in BP while using Evenity

Years ago, back in the 1990s, I took fosamax. (prescribed by the endocrinologist I saw for thyroid issues) At my annual gyn. visit I was surprised when the medical assistant called out my blood pressure as 150 over something. I asked the gynecologist to retake it when she came in as I had always had low blood pressure. I mentioned this to the osteopath I saw for my back issues, and for two months I saw him every other week and he monitored and charted my blood pressure readings. After 2 months of data I went off of it and at my next 2 week visit my b/p had dropped back to 118/60. At my next visit with the endocrinologist who had prescribed the fosamax, I relayed this information and he told me high blood pressure was not a known side effect. Well, it was for me. We all have different metabolisms, chemical make up, immune system responses. I will also add I found, after much research, a Canadian study whereby increase in blood pressure was the #2 side effect after esophageal irritation.
