Fatigue/long term side effects
Hi there everyone
Forum Discussion
I am 2 years post chemo. On rare occasions all my energy returns for one day and I get in to all the stuff I can't do when I am lethargic. I wish I knew how to get more energy days but at least a few give me a glimpse that I will one day return to normal.
Watch out for the dreaded depression as that really saps your strength. Exercise can help but its a catch22 in getting the energy to do the exercise.
My SVT heart troubles lately and the heart meds do drop my beats per minute down in to sleep levels which makes me tired.
Get a blood pressure machine that does the beats as well. At least I can see on the monitor why I have no energy sometimes. It does come good though. I just have to pick my battles (activity) according to what my body says I am up to doing.
Good part while I am on this medication is coffee is actually GOOD for me and gets my low heart rate up a bit. Silver lining to everything. :)
