I'm usually 110/75, now I'm 130/97? I don't think that's good, but my nuero says he thinks I was just having a bad day. I asked him if I needed to monitor it he said no b/c my bp has always been good before. Then he told me I need to stop worrying about everything and try not to stress myself out too much.

Well that's easier said than done

Personally, I would continue to monitor my blood pressure. Try to take your blood pressure daily for the next ten days. Increased blood pressure is nothing to play around with.

Savella does increase blood pressure in some individuals. I have heart disease and my blood pressure was controlled with medication before I started Savella. Savella did not raise my BP.

Good luck to you!

Hugs, Robin
