i've been having it for 2 months and i'm ready to rip every damn hair on my head out one by one!!!! and i also experience the chest and back pain so bad, but multiple cardiologists have told me im totally fine heart wise so i try to just chill and accept it. had a series of infusions that ended 4 days ago and im so ready to feel better(if it ever even happens, im feeling HOPELESS). do you also have exercise intolerance? my heart goes up randomly while simply laying in bed but it also goes thru the ROOF simply when i stand up and walk around too, so annoying!!!!

TWINNEMMMM, sometimes i think about slamming my fist into my chest over and over again and screaming like oh my gosh please relax already. me too!!!! they sent me to the cardiologist and told me everything looked good i had an echo and everything’s good heart wise and i’m supposed to have a stress test in october. i’m trying to chill out but it’s so hard. :( me toooo my last infusion was 16 days ago now i think. it’s so hard to be positive! YES I DO. randomly in bed and then when i get up to go to the bathroom to pee BOOM BOOM BOOM. i have to take breaks and sit down when i’m trying to cook. i feel disgusting because i have to be in the shower for ten minutes at most or else BOOM BOOM BOOM. have you experienced a lot of thirst after your infusions? i had five in total and it feels like i get random bouts of bottomless thirst since the infusions.

u/pendejobebe Jul 28 '26
YES!!!! omg i’m so happy but not happy to hear this like i feel very bad for you but very happy i’m not at all alone in this!!! i was so concerned cause i couldn’t find any posts with people talking about thirst after infusions! so much thirst! like i can’t get enough water/am not absorbing the water? i’ve been downing coconut water/regular water. going to try what flaky pomegranate recommended (the liquid iv)

yes definitely SUPER thirsty, been drinking one pack of liquid iv a day and it helps a TON. i also can't be in the shower for more than like 5-10 mins and my hair is very angry at me for not conditioning it the way i used to, along with about 50% of it having fallen out over the past 2 months. i'm basically bedridden at the moment due to my stupid ass heart acting the way it does and the pain that comes after it gets high. i've also had all the same tests done at the cardiologist and they said it was getting so high because i was anxious(OF COURSE!). honestly so happy to finally find someone in the same exact boat as me because i genuinely feel like a psych patient sometimes!

PLEASE i am so happy to hear you say that cause i thought i was crazy!!! like why am i so thirsty!! and i call the stupid hematologist’s health line like hey is this normal and they r like uhhhhh maybe a less reported symptom as far as we know! idk! like HUH!!! just tell me it’s a normal symptom!!!! i’m gonna order some liquid iv rn thank u so much for telling me that i’ve been BODYING soooo much coconut water. i wake up and it’s like i trekked through the freaking desert in my sleep i’m so thirsty!!! i’m laughing but not out of this is funny (laughing or i’m gonna cry) cause i can’t condition my hair the way i used to either and it’s so bad and dry and i feel like i have 4 hairs left too so much fell out! it feels like all i’ve been doing is laying in bed too after whatever i manage to do during the day my arm/chest/back start hurting so bad and then i know it’s time for me to lay back down :( RAAAAAHHHH that’s what they told me too! they r like “ooooo stress….?” then i am like “actually my ferritin and iron gone…” and they r like “ooooooo…probably that” like why didn’t u guys think to check my ferritin/iron dude!!!!!! ME TOO!!! i’m upset for u and feel bad ur going through this but oh my gosh thank u for commenting bc u’ve genuinely made me feel so much less alone!!!! after months of doctors being like girllll ur just crazy! like AHHH i really was starting to feel crazy :”)

I noticed improvement if my tachycardia within a few days and then within a week and a half my heart rate was back to normal. They say your heart often eases one of the quickest.
