HI-

HAS ANYONE HAD A PROBLEM WITH EXTREMELY LOW BLOOD PRESSURE WHILE ON LYNPARZA (OLAPARIB)?

THANKS,

Hi Lee. Yes, my BP drops regularly especially if Ive been sat for a while and then stand and start moving. This causes me to feel dizzy. I tend to just stop what Im doing and wait for my BP to stabalize which takes about a min. My work colleagues and family are used to me just stopping. Its managable . Kathy xx

HI KATHY,

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE REPLY. MY BP DROPS SO LOW AND HAVE PASSED OUT

BECAUSE OF IT. MINE TAKES A WHILE TO COME BACK UP. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I AM SUPPOSED TO TAKE A BETA BLOCKER TO KEEP HEART RATE DOWN AND IT ALSO CAN DROP BP. SO... I DON'T TAKE THE BETA BLOCKER REGULARLY ANYMORE AND CAN HAVE HIGH HEART RATE. A TWO EDGED SWORD FOR SURE. MY CA 125 IS CREEPING UP SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT. DID YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU'RE HAVING A REALLY BAD DREAM AND JUST WANT TO WAKE UP? I GUESS I SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN, I'M STILL HERE. RIGHT?

I HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL-

THANKS AGAIN,

LEE
