Heart problem/ herceptin question

[Brenda_D]

I am scheduled for an echo next week. My PCP did an EKG, and it was fine. I'm also to get a chemical stress test.
My blood pressure was way too high, and I'm on another BP med. It seems to be working. My BP and chest pain are ok today.

I had big problem with herceptin, after 2 infusions I arrived to 15% of ejection fraction.
The symtomps were:
-high pulsations (150 per minute)
-breath problems
-problems in sleeping (it was like a panic attack)
-tiredness.

I had a cough and was tired, but I didn't consider that a symptom of trouble. I was shocked when my oncologist told me my ejection fraction had dropped 16 points and he wanted me to stop at nine months.
