Dizziness and fatigue

Hi there , what treatment did you have ? radiotherapy can make you so fatigued for awhile I’ve been told I finished my chemo radiation in December and was advised that the fatigue can take quite some time …. I see in your bio that you have anxiety , so do I and that can make me so dizzy when it’s high, could it be that …and the fact you’ve had a heart problem too , you’ve had a lot going on haven’t you … can you discuss it with your team ? Love Elly x

The cardio team have been brilliant I still get a call from them every couple of weeks, even just to say ‘high’ it means so much.  Had a meltdown a couple of weeks back after a routine echo (the woman conducting the test was vicious and I was so bruised around my ribs), so with my anxiety I was concerned that something else was wrong as some of my pain was near the lungs. Rang them and basically the nurse talked me down , helped me reset my brain, and I kid you not, within. 3 hours the pain was virtually gone,  I get next to no contact from oncology/lung nurses  I know I can call them but the irony is I don’t want to bother them.    I think once I start, I won’t stop ‍♀️

Anxiety can certainly convince you of the worst possible outcome …. But you’ve been through a lot that isn’t your anxiety so don’t feel you’re mithering them if you’re worried ring them .., xxx

I know you’re right, but I’m stubborn.  Have my scan tomorrow (have had a lot of them like you’ve probably had) so I shouldn’t be worried by it, but the old brain is complex and anything might happen, so I will see how my levels are afterwards x

Good luck love x
