Morning everyone
Just a quick question
I have had 2 cycles of belantumab and that seems to be going well
Then 3 weeks ago I was given an Iv of Zoledronic
I not sure if this is related to my recent symptoms but I now have a constant ache left side just above my pelvis and my blood pressure is constantly high 170/ 90
I was also given calcium tablets to take daily
Has any one else found this to be the case ??or is it just the myeloma and my mind playing tricks
Thanks
David

Morning David I have been receiving Zometa for over two years now and I never had any side effects……the drs have stopped it now and again no side effects.
No probs with blood pressure

Hi David,

Top priority: please contact your doctor or healthcare team.

On this forum, we are not generally medically qualified. In particular, a blood pressure of 170/90 sounds sky high.

I have experience of zoledronic acid, also known as Zometa. For me, it caused flu like symptoms (not unusual) and temporary utter exhaustion (less common but not unknown).

What follows is from reading up, not personal experience…

The pain just above your pelvis could be coming from your kidneys. Myeloma can harm kidney function. Blood tests could indicate whether this is the cause.

You could be low on electrolytes: that would be consistent with being prescribed calcium tablets (calcium is an electrolyte).

All this is guesswork, though.

Regards
Rabbit
