@jeffmarc "It did give me high blood pressure, "

Just before surgery, I was 116/76 (like the previous 60 years).

After ADT for 1.5 years, it rose to 184/86, & I was prescribed Losartan to reduce it.

After 21 months being off all medications, I'm now back to 116/76.

My pulse at 54 wasn't affected by any of this.

You were fortunate your blood pressure stabilized.

I never had high blood pressure before zytiga. Now, Even though I stopped taking it three years ago, I have to take three different blood pressure medicines twice a day. Losartan, Diltiazem and metoprolol. My BP is not high at all anymore, but my cardiologist doesn’t want me to cut back more than having reduced the losartan by half.
