While I was getting my last dose of chemotherapy in preparation for my CAR T CELL treatment, they overloaded me with fluids because the chemotherapy is very toxic to the kidneys. As a result the fluid backed up in my lungs and caused my heart rate to go up. It also caused pain in my chest when I tried to take a deep breathe. With two or thee days of a heavy duty diuretics, they removed 10lbs. Of fluid. It sounds like your doctor is on top of things by having you seen by a cardiologist and pulmonologist. These are the kinds of problems we run into when we are in treatment. I pray that everything will clear up in time for you. Take care, don’t worry it is all part of the process, my doctor said, “don’t be alarmed, we have seen this happen before and know how to take care of it.” It is hard when it hurts to take a breathe and you have never had that happen before.

Zina, that is so great to hear!

I have Nodular Sclerosis Classic Hodgkin’s Lymphoma... and had a hard time talk and breathing at the same time... A symptom of HL! But it went away with treatment! I’m 16 months out of Chemo!!!

I had a similar experience with chemo and overdoses of fluids. Very out of breath and feet swelled up like balloons. Diuretics solved the issue. Recently had to have blood transfusions and doctor ordered diuretic between units. No problems.

Hi Honey, I am on the watch n wait. My breathing is very poor. I had covid n it is now worse. Keep doing the inhale n bl I wing out candle 🕯 exercises. Praying for ya. 🌻🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛
