Yes, lymphoma and its treatments can definitely cause both dizziness and nausea (feeling sick). You're not imagining it!
Dizziness can be linked to anemia, which is a low red blood cell count. This happens when lymphoma or its treatments affect your blood cells, meaning your body isn't carrying enough oxygen around. Other symptoms of anemia include:
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Headaches
- Fatigue (feeling very tired) Nausea is one of the most common and uncomfortable side effects of lymphoma treatments like chemotherapy. It can also affect your appetite and lead to weight loss. A MyLymphomaTeam member shared, "I have lost about 20 pounds now. No appetite. When I eat, I feel nausea set in, and I can't eat much."
There are ways to manage nausea, including anti-nausea medications. It's really important to talk to your care team about what you're experiencing so they can help find the right approach for you.
