  • Hi my blood pressure drops too & about half hour after I find I need to lay down, & I usually crash out for about an hour. I find that if you lay down with a few pillows under your legs at the ankle - will help th pressure … doing it in bed .. even better as I’ll end up there anyhow lol x I think it’s quite common.. but, oddly no one talks about it - if you are concerned or it is dangerously low.. speak to yr team. 
    I also find having a drink straight after helps too. Just water or squash 

    I hope yr journey gets better and your road to recovery is swift xx

  • Thankyou for your reply , ive accidentally flagged it to moderaor! I think its my numb fingers and chemo brain!!

    Your advice very useful, however im finding bp low all the time. Spend alot of time laying down and drinking lots of water.  I know low Red cells causes this symptom,. I think just coming to terms thats its part and parcel of chemo. Suprised not mentioned more as i feel one of the contributing factors to making you feel so rough after a chemo session.
