I had shortness of breath too. During treatment in clinic I required a lot of corticosteroids and benedryl to stop allergic reaction. Iā€™m several months out of treatment and still on occasion have shortness of breath. Stairs climbing and vigorous activity causes shortness of breath. I also deal with fatigue. (follicular nhl )

It happens to me and my primary said Rituximab can affect the heart. She send me to the cardiologist and they run all the test and no problems. But I get so shortness of breath and I have a murmur in my chest sometimes. I hope that you're ok.

I have been having intemittent (SOB) shortness of breath. I've had multiple studies done and it is all normal. I'm 1.5 yrs out and I hope this will pass.
