my concern.........
The concern now is that he is having episodes of very rapid heart beat and pounding, with profuse sweating and general tightness in his chest. Is this a heart attack?
My opinion would be if all this is going on would be to go to the ER and have his vitals checked and see if he is having a heart attack, that should have already been attended to but not by the Oncologists, but by the Dr on call at the ER.....Just my opinion though....0 -
I wish
I wish I had some experience of my own that might shed some light on your husbands condition, but I don't. Look for another opinion and don't give up one those trials!
It can't hurt to keep him healthy with a boost from cancer fighting foods with all those antioxidants. An herbalist (nutrition, doctor type) or meditation might help with providing calm and maybe some control over that racing heart. I hope you find something that works and soon!0 -
My mom went to the ER with
My mom went to the ER with similar symptoms. Both daughters of $my mother don't play. When they happen we told everyone "time to pack it up" and go tothe ER. We were also told that this could be a sign of nlood clots or a heart attck, which are side effects of chemo. So my recommendation to you is "pack it up" and head to the docs or ER.0 -

Another take on this?
A stressed liver can do some neat tricks.....
The liver regulates Serotonin, and Serotonin regulates the heart
(along with many other functions). Cancer in the liver can cause
the liver to fail to do it's job properly.
Serotonin: Ubiquitous Neuromodulator in the Failing Heart
When I suffered from A-Fib, my TCM doc treated my liver
for a "yin deficiency", and that cured my A-Fib.
It's funny the way things work.
By the way.... My last trip to the "ER" for dehydration, resulted in
the ER chief physician to declare that I -was not- dehydrated, he said
what I had was a bad heart that required immediate medicine to get
it under control. I insisted he was wrong; I refused heart meds and
demanded to be IV hydrate. He insisted that would not cure my
racing heart.
I was IV hydrated, my heart regulated to normal beating, my
blood pressure returned to normal, and the great ER Physician
never once apologized for being a jerk.
Most physicians will tell you that a hospital isn't anyplace
you should voluntarily check in to. If you have to, you have to,
but it's 100% safer to use a physician you are familiar with.
Better health is coming your way!

Thanks everyone for the responses. John, I especially thank you for your thoughts on dehydration. I will bring this up to my husband and get his thoughts. You really have to fight for your own well-being, even when the medical community discounts you. Good for insisting on what you thought was the problem, John.0
