Imbruvica and High BP/Cholesterol

[offeritup]

Hi everyone: Im "Offeritup". I am new to this community. I have had CLL since 2014, and have been in remission for 6 months. I was wondering if anyone aside from me has had weight gain, high HDL and BP. I was doing really well 2 years ago; now im having these problems and I havent changed anything. I still walk 2-4 miles a day, my diet is good but my dr. cant explain why the sudden weight gain, hbp/hcl. any doctors out there who can explain it. I'm baffled and annoyed!

I am in the same boat. No explanation. Did you mean high LDL? High HDL is a good thing and 90% of the time is hereditary.

I would love to know the answer.

I have been on imbruvica for 11 months. I was told by my doctor that high blood pressure is a side effect of this medicine. I went from 10mg of high blood med to 20mg. my blood pressure last checked was down to 128/84.
