I have two different rashes (one started before Revlimid and one just started) with the first one thought to be an autoimmune response, granuloma annulare. The second one is still unknown. The nurse practitioner told me not to worry about it.
Three months after my SCT I started have a HR of 150 upon rising and could feel my heart race. Subsequently my oncologist put me on metoprolol and that has helped tremendously. Still I do have times when my heart rate is up over 130 and when I get up and walk, occasionally feeling lightheaded.
My transplant doctor has written my increased heart rate as anxiety. Thank God my oncologist listened to me and treated the problem. I don't know what I would do without him. My primary doctor is the one who suggested that my atuonomic nervous system took at hit through my myeloma and it's treatment.
I came across information on this forum about autoimmune dysautonomia and then through research postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. I thinking that these could all be related. Any thoughts or similar experiences?
I should mention that my mother is positive for the Rheumatoid Factor and my daughter has Raynaud's disease with Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disorder, with a + SCL70.
Trying to make sense of all these crazy symptoms. I see my oncologist in two weeks.
