xolair and high blood pressure

[Guest guest]

I had a rather nasty surprise this week. I went for a routine endo appt

and found out my blood pressure was 172/100. I'm not sure who was more

surprised:my dr. or me. I am on less meds now than I've taken in 5yrs. I

feel much better and have gone back to work. He didn't seem to think it

had anything to do with my working or stress level. He put me on bp meds

on the spot. The only thing different is the Xolair, and the fact I feel

good. Bp meds make me nervous because a side effect can be coughing. I

am not allowed to cough because of the steroid damage to my trach.

Could it be the xolair,or has family genetics caught up with me? i

woould welcome any ideas. becki
