Hello all, my husband is in the fourth week of RT and Chemo. He is now taking Fortisip as prescribed via his stomach tube and drinking sips of water regularly. Before this treatment began he had never had blood pressure problems. Unfortunately during the past three weeks his blood pressure has been too low and he has actually fallen during three dizzy spells at home. Despite reporting to all medics involved the situation has not been addressed or improved and I wonder if anyone on

here had experienced similar problems and were you able to sort them? Thanks x

2 years since chemoradiotherapy finished, I have been bothered with Tinnitus, some days worse than others, intermittent dizzy spells, blood pressure seems to be OK, I have just been putting it down to late Chemo side effects

Thanks Micky, he has just started with Tinnitus but the dizziness means he can’t move around much. Hope it’s only temporary. Thanks for your input.

I had low blood pressure during my treatment, I fainted twice at home( I'd never faint before in my life). I should have had 6 full days of chemo, however my blood pressure was too low to have the 6th, which isn't unusual. As long as you have let medics know, they will probably be keeping their eye on it.

If this is new please report it. Cisplatin can cause this and it might be permanent
