I did not have any heart issues back then. I was 54 at transplant. Now I have again and higher heart rate and BP. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Update on Eric. His tachycardia started after Melphalan, listed as side effect. Highest rate 115-118. Started going down yesterday. This morning 75! So 22 days. I hope this helps someone who maybe experiences this as well. I guess he’s lucky all he had was diarrhea, loss of appetite, fatigue, increased heart rate and hair loss.

I did, but the tachycardia was due to an e coli infection that caused me to become dehydrated. Cardiologist gave excellent care, including wearing a monitor on my chest. All good...

Lower Heart rate or Daytime Sleepiness?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
want to share a little update about my journey. Recently I went for a CT scan of my lungs, and today the doctor explained the results to me. They found some changes in my left lung compared to before. There are areas where the lung lining looks thicker, and a small mass in the lower part of the left lung has grown a bit since my last scan. Because of these changes, the doctors want to do another test called a bronchoscopy, where they use a small camera to look inside the airways and take samples to understand it better. Hearing all this was not easy for me. It made me emotional because it feels like one thing after another. But at the same time, I am thankful that I am already under medical care and the doctors are taking steps to find out exactly what
