Anyone on Kesimpta/New High BP?
Hi, a few weeks ago I mentioned to GP rapid heart rate and palpitations plus swelling in lower legs so because I was about to start K, we decided an ECG would be a good idea plus he checked various bloods, blood pressure, pulse, circulation etc.
BP was and always has been, totally normal.
I started K a few days after the ECG which was normal.
Am now 6 weeks past first dose and have done 4 shots in total.
This week have felt light headed and headachey plus some chest tension.
Put it down to vertigo and MS hug both of which I get a lot.
Went for flu jab today and got nurse to check my BP - very high!!
Have to check daily for 7 days and report back to Docs.
Has anyone else on Kesimpta had this? Am wondering if it is a side effect?
@tiredgirl i'v been on K since...june. not noticed any side effects like you've described. only side effcts i've noticed from DMT (was on tysabri for nearly 8 years) are headaches, which ive excused as a result of the visual disturbance i've had since diagnosis. hope the GP gets to a solution!
