Hi,Kathy,
Just ran across a message entry from this web site as follows:“I also had this (dizziness)went to Dr. had the sit down stand up blood pressure test. Major changes in readings, but he thought gatorade to replace electrolites would help and did. Good luck check with your doctor.”–Cathy d 2/15/2009
God bless.when my mother in law was on the same chemo treatment she often complained of shortness of breath. Now that she is on a different treatment, she doesn’t ahve those symptoms. I wish I could say there was something that seemed to help her but there wasn’t. Just reminding herself that it was normal and trying to slow down was all that helped.
Kathy….definitely report this to the physician. Also, fluids, fluids, fluids….are a must. Often times it solves the problem of nausea and dizziness.
I hope this helped. Please, keep us posted.
All my best wishes,
MarionMy dad has just finished his 4th treatment (2nd cycle) of Cisplatin and gencitabine.He has been doing fairly well except for being tired,He has had a few episodes where he feels very short of breath,becomes dizzy and feels like he is going to pass out.He has only had about 5 episodes like this,but I am wondering if it is chemo related.Has anyone else experienced these type of symptoms on this regimen? Kathy
