question regarding blood pressure and question regarding prograf...
What is considered "high blood pressure" and when does it become a concern??? My typical blood pressure is in the low 120's/low 130's however, lately its been in the mid140's/low 150's. Does this happen after transplant (3 months post transplant)? Should I be concerned?
Does Prograf cause tremors? And...can these tremors be contributing to making a person feel tired and exhausted???

prograf can cause tremor and high blood pressure. its not unusual to feel fatigued this soon after a transplant. i prefer the bp to be no higher than 120/80--if so it might warrant treatment
