I developed BP issues after I got PN. Although hypertension runs in my family, I still wasn't expecting it in my early thirties.

For a long time I thought it is all PN connected,and I finally resigned myself to the fact that I probably have some degree of essential hypertension.

I also have gained 13 kilos the last year and a half. My GP put me on meds for the BP, and I am really glad for that.

I don't know about BP as a side-effect of your med, but high BP is something that needs to be monitored closely.
