Hello all , hope everyone is doing ok. I'm just looking for some advice on a side affects I experienced yesterday while have a 5fu push through my port . Halfway through the push I came over all strange like fuzzy head and it felt like my insides were shrinking not a crushing feeling and I had no chest pains. I mentioned it to the nurse who was doing the push and she said " really" I said yes I really don't feel good so I was taken to the side room and my blood pressure was on the high side then a doctor came in and I explained as best I could at this stage my thoughts were getting muddled and I felt awful. They then gave me antihistamine and a steroid and I felt better after about 30min . This was my third folfox infusion and I was fine with the other two. Has anybody else experienced anything similar that you could share, I'm very worried it will happen again next week. Thank you
