Hi Dana. Could the TKI also be causing your headaches and high blood pressure? I know nothing about TKI and its side effects. Would definitely contact your doctor on Monday to make them aware of what is going on and all of your symptoms.
Thank you for the info in regard to Brunswick. So glad that they finally upgraded the town & it is doing well:):)
The warmest part of our body is the head. Even on cold nights our head makes our pillow very warm. I think after you get up you cool off and the swelling goes down? If you are taking medication this could be an ill affect? The only way you would know is to stop taking the medication. Last February I started to cough. After 7 months I stopped taking my medication. The cough stopped. I am taking my BTKi now at 50% dose and no cough. I read my paperwork with my last bottle of pills and cough is now listed?
Things in Brunswick are good. The city did a beautification a couple of years ago and the downtown looks good and is very active. So two new symptoms. Headaches and wow is all I can say. Blood pressure tonight was 181 over 95. Of course it's Saturday. I hate the ed. Ughhh
Why does facial swelling occur in the morning with TKI treatment?
Facial swelling that improves throughout the day is a known side effect of TKI medications used to treat CML. Fluid buildup is one of the common side effects people experience while taking these targeted therapies.
