Like @ddon and @tinks my resting heart rate went up for a while following AC and during Paclitaxel. It was running high eighties and low nineties which was very disconcerting.
The oncologist told me it was unrelated but I knew it was. That's so interesting to hear others had the same.
I found a reference online that said it was a common symptom of Pac chemo.
Then one day it stopped. Phew. I was having gated heart pool scans because I am on Herceptin. They didn't change so my heart was okay. But it was anxiety causing and scary. Having a fast heart rate makes you anxious even without worrying.
@2mc My advice to everyone is to walk every day of chemo. I did and had limited side effects and it was good for the brain too!
