  1. Greetings, I finished 4 th round of rchop last week and for the past four days my heart has been racing after very small tasks, up to 134 for moving laundry. Last round I spent a night in the hospital due to palpations and elevated troponin levels. My doc says my heart is fine but, feeling concerned to say the least. Anyone else have this issue?
  • Hi again , it’s is concerning that you are having some heart issues but good that you are being investigated.

    Following my final chemo before my Stem Cell Transplant (5 years back) I developed A-Fib where my heart does crazy things but mostly racing. The only time it now happens is when I develop an infection and that has been 5 times over the past 5 years.

    I was checked out by a cardiologist and they don’t see it as a problem where anything needs to be done.

  • The steroids do that to me. Can be very scary.

    • Greetings, I also had palpations which made me unable to do anything. The doc put me on fluids on day 6 &7 after chemo which helped a little. It will help to make sure you drink a lot which I neglected to do when I felt so bad.
