Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had chemo 2 years ago Cytoxin/Taxotere for breast cancer and am currently on Tamoxifen, Toprol 100mg,TriamtereneHCTZ 37.25mg. I was taking Lortab 7.25-500mg but that was currently changed to Lortab 7.5-325mg. Last night was the first time taking the new pills, and I keep get this fluttering like heart thing that makes me want to breath really deep or cough then I m fine. Now you should know I extremely sensitive to meds as changing from one brand of tamoxifen to another is truly a beast!
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that palpitation can be a common side effect of chemotherapy but breathing difficulty can be due to cardiac arrhythmia so it is recommended for you to get an ecg and a echocardiography done and consult your treating physician for medical treatment.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards Dr Bhanu Partap
