What Causes High BP And Blood From Nose When Suffering From Cancer?

I m a cancer patient whose has a maestectomy and currently under chemotherapy treatment. I ve had my fifth chemo session on April 4th. Almost a week later, after receiving upsetting news, I started suffering from abnormally high blood pressure 167/115 accompanied by bloody nose discharge. Seeking medical advice, I was prescribed an anxiolytic together with Ruta C. My blood pressure continues to be high and my right eye is now red as my bloody nasal discharge continues.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion your epistaxis (bleeding from nose) can be due to untreated hypertension. And not due to malignancy.
Front most part of nose is having reach blood supply and capillaries are very fragile to high blood pressure. So they can easily break and cause bleeding.
So control of hypertension is must for you.
Better to consult cardiologist and start antihypertensive drugs. Your eye problem mostly due to hypertension only. So control of this is needed along with anxiety treatment.
