High blood pressure

Is anyone experiencing an elevated blood pressure due to the carbamazepine? Mine is way too high for me and is starting to make me nervous.

Call pharmacist -- ask if this is a side effect ---- and your sodium levels I believe should be checked by your doctor regularly with this med

/ sodium/ kidneys/ high blood pressure etc.

Thanks for the reply. I have had my blood tested and am due for another. I looked up the side effects and found hypertension as a possible cause. It is definitely time to follow up on this new issue. I had two visits with the neurosurgeon and one with the radiology oncologist and after asking for my blood pressure, was shocked to hear it was 157/85. I am usually 118/78. I seemed to be the only one upset. So I thought it was expected, although it made me uncomfortable. Will stay on top of it.
