blood pressure and biologics

I have been on Fasenra for three months now and last week my blood pressure shot up and has stayed high ever since. Has anybody else found this to happen? I really don't want to take meds but may have to.

I am not on fasenra, but my blood pressure shoots up when my asthma is flaring. It peaked at 220 over 110 in one asthma attack. Very normal for it to go up to 170 or so in an attack. So is your underlying asthma steady or is it deteriorating would be my first question.

My asthma drugs lowered my blood pressure when I went on them as my asthma improved.
