It had no effect on MY BP whatsoever. Maybe the stress of his treatment is doing it. It is no fun being strapped to a table with a mask on your face every day. Do you know what his BP used to be BEFORE he got this diagnosis? If he is like my husband, he probably hasn't seen a doctor in years. Here's hoping this is radiation side effects.
Take care, Eileen
