Heart problem?

Anyone had any problems with heartrate since finishing radiotherapy?

I finished mine 11 days ago. I ran for a bus today and when I got on felt that my heart was not running as normal. I checked my pulse rate and it was only 30. After 5 minutes it went back to normal.

Radio was on the right, not left where most of the heart is.

I don’t feel tired or otherwise unwell. Just itchy in the treated area.

Hi Caroline,

If you’d like to talk to a nurse about this, you can reach our specialists on 0808 800 6000, or post in the ‘Ask our nurses’ board.

Take care, Becca at Breast Cancer Care.

Hi Caroline please see your GP if your pulse was only 30.  It should be a bit higher than that. They will just do a check ECG to check all’s well. Really pleased you’ve finished x
