What Causes Lymphoma Fatigue and 8 Ways To Manage It Read Article...
A MyLymphomaTeam Member

I had shortness of breath too. During treatment in clinic I required a lot of corticosteroids and benedryl to stop allergic reaction. Iā€™m several months out of treatment and still on occasion have shortness of breath. Stairs climbing and vigorous activity causes shortness of breath. I also deal with fatigue. (follicular nhl )

Thanks I'm 70 and alone so as long as I go in my sleep I'm good though about getting my heart checked out even had a talk with my primary MD --then when he started about mentioning tests I told him not to record it.(He has been our family Doctor for over30 yrs . He said ok. I'm good.

It happens to me and my primary said Rituximab can affect the heart. She send me to the cardiologist and they run all the test and no problems. But I get so shortness of breath and I have a murmur in my chest sometimes. I hope that you're ok.

I have been having intemittent (SOB) shortness of breath. I've had multiple studies done and it is all normal. I'm 1.5 yrs out and I hope this will pass.
