Hello Folks
I am 42yo and 2 years post mastectomy. I had chemo before and rads after. It was stage 3 7/8 Her+.
I am on Tamoxifen and Zoladex. And Venlafaxin to help with hot flushes. And CalcD and Zokedronic Acid drip for the bones.
I'm doing really well, keeping busy with two jobs, long commutes (although WFH now!), and pretty chirpy.
But I get these awful episodes where I have the same odd sensation in my chest and throat as when I am about to faint (I used to faint when I was younger.) Oddly, this happens in the evening or morning when I'm lying down. But I never actually faint, although my body seems to long to lie lower. If that makes sense?
I also have regular episodes of severe fatigue sitting ay work, just literalky struggling to keep my eyes open. That's so embarrassing!
O and my heart sometimes races for no apparent reason - up to anout 130 bpm. (My resting heart rate is 72.)
My BP is the classic 120/80 and pretty constant.
I sleep reasobly well, trying to go to bed at a decent time, keeping devices out of the room, leaving a window open. Just the hot flushes sometimes trouble me at the beginning of the night.
I am not terribly active, but I try to go for regular walks, averaging 7000 steps per day.
Should I worry? And how can I rid myself of these annoying episodes?
Thank you lovely ones!
