Effects on your heart
has anyone had a problem with their heart rhythm, specifically going into AF and at a very high rate, after their first infusion? Or is it because I had a chest infection? 5 days in hospital a...
I did get AF but more than four months in (so had completed A/C and was on Taxol). Lots of discussion back and forth about what ‘caused’ it, but I am satisfied it was a combination of things - age, slightly high blood pressure, surgery and chemo. But an incidence after only one infusion sounds rather different. Chances are it will settle and it’s a one off, the chest infection probably didn’t help. But may need careful monitoring for your next infusion, just to be on the safe side. Best wishes.
