What Causes Difficult Breathing While On Dialysis Treatment?
I have been a dialysis patient for a little over 7 years. During my last treatment, I found it difficult to breathe. I did not go in to treatment feeling this way, it happened close to the end of treatment. I don't frequently have a lot of fluid retention. What can this be caused by?

Hi, welcome to HCM.
Dialysis removes toxins and water from your body.
Breathing difficulty during dialysis is common complaint. Don't get panic.
Check your BP, do ECG and get assessed your dry weight with your nephrologist.
You can get back to me also with these reports.
Best wishes. TC.
