Breathing difficulties

My onc put my on Somac once a day for reflux.  Not sure if it's stronger or weaker than Nexium.  

I also had double strength mylanta and zantac for in between. 

 So it is safe to take nexium twice a day .. I hope it kicks in soon lol struggled to eat a beautiful butterflied lamb tonight as heartburn was killing me

I ended up on nexium twice a day on AC. Awful stuff. But hey ...here I am alive to whinge about it. 

Hi ladies just an update they are thinking my breathing problems are from my severe heartburn/indigestion (it was actually making me cry) so have got nexium to take to see if that calms the heartburn down and the breathing ......who new that heartburn could affect breathing ... lol . Learn something new everyday hopefully the nexium will work as gaviscon done nothing .xoxo

@Nikkilee, i had the breathing problems and was short of breath when i was having chemo. My doctor said it was a fluid build up around my lungs from chemo and it would go away on it's own and it did. I couldn't walk 5 steps without puffing like an old steam train.

Well it's better to be checked out and find nothing than stay home and not receive appropriate treatment. Hopefully its just the sheer exhaustion causing it. Hope you improve  soon. Kath x

I did goto hospital and they done chest X-ray and echo and bloods but said they couldn’t find anything as to why I have breathing issues they sent me home and told me to keep an eye on it .. 

@Nikkilee I'm not sure about your breathing difficulties. But this is sonething you should get checked out. Some people can have an allergic  reaction or issues from chemo. I don't mean to alarm you..but...feeling buggered, exhausted,  tired and sick are normal. Feeling really breathless isn't standard and you should be checked out by a Dr asap. 

Hi there love. I was heaps better the second week of AC. Drank the mt franklin flavoured sparkling mineral water and didn’t eat a lot the first week but try and keep your fluids up. The second week I ate my body weight in fats carbs and sugar when I felt like it so that’s a perk. And I agree with @Brenda5 the exercise did certainly help I made myself grt up every morning and walk my dogs and always felt better when I got home. Helped with my appetite too. Take it easy and listen to your body, it’s a shit covered mountain we all climb but we all get to the top eventually even if you have to crawl up the fucking  thing on our hands and knees. Biggest hug.  Margie xxx
