Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure as a long term effect of radiotherapy? I dont know if it is the cause but ever since I had radiotherapy and started anastrozole, them Exemestane I have much higher blood pressure. I finished radiotherapy in October 2025 and have stopped all hormone therapy but still have high BP. I have never had high BP before. Im a relatively fit 68year old and just cant get it lowered.
Hi, I'm one of the champions here in this group and whilst I'm not sure about BP as a side effect, I just noticed your post hasn't had any replies yet so I wanted to acknowledge it and say hello.
You might want to have a chat with the lovely folks at the Macmillan helpline as I am sure they could advise in your question. You can call them on 0800 808 0000 from 8am to 8pm daily. Best wishes
