Extreme dizziness after treatments?
Experienced lightheadedness when doing chemo, usually when blood counts were low and needed transfusions. Continued to happen after that-mostly when I stood up or leaned down and back up (learned to take it slow). Would feel off-kilter at times.
Told onco office it was getting worse, especially during last brain rad. They said my pulse would almost double when I went from sitting to standing. Blood pressure is fine. Sent me to my regular doc who did EEG, EKG, echocardiogram, complete CBC, stress and thyroid tests. All came back okay. Had PET and MRI done in July and that was clear. Heart tests were fine. He referred me to heart doctor this week as he doesn't know what else would effect the pulse/dizziness.
My family was here from out of state for weekend and I thought I was going to keel over in Target store 3 times...happened while walking...heard buzzing in ears, vision started getting fuzzy/dark and felt like was going to pass out. Thank goodness we were in shoe dept with all those little benches to sit down.
Going to call onco today to see what they think. Now, I'm scared to drive as I got very dizzy pullng out of driveway to go to store so pulled back in driveway.
So,it went from lightheadedness, to dizziness to feel-like-you're-going-to-keel-over walking. Anyone else experience this?

It was extreme dehydration. Onco office sent me to tranfusion center who hooked me up to IV for couple hours. Hope this works.
