Hi! I'm so thankful for the forum and the contributors. I checked the "archives" for threads dealing with high BP before starting my own thread. And here you all are answering my questions! My BP had been on the low end of normal until my second day of ATG which is also the day I began cyclosporine. It shot up dramatically and has stayed there. In fact, last week after a platelet transfusion, it skyrocketed. Lucky I was still at the hospital, as they had to load me up with drugs to get me out the door. I bought a BP cuff so I can monitor it at home. Will visit the dr. this week armed with information and hope for some relief. As if dealing with MDS isn't enough, must we add high blood pressure to the mix?
