Question asked:
Large B cell non Hodgkin’s lymphoma here. Had my 3rd treatment a few days ago. I’m experiencing extreme dizzying today. BP good and 0 2 okay. Any input?? Thants
I appreciate you reaching out, and I'm glad you're monitoring your vital signs. However, I need to be direct: extreme dizziness during active chemotherapy requires immediate medical attention from your care team—not an AI response.
Here's why this matters:
This could be several things that need professional evaluation:
- A side effect of your recent chemotherapy that needs management
- A medication interaction
- An electrolyte imbalance (common during treatment)
- Something unrelated to treatment that coincidentally appeared
- In rare cases, a more serious condition requiring urgent care
What you should do RIGHT NOW:
- Contact your oncology team immediately - call their emergency line if it's after hours. Don't wait for an appointment.
- If you can't reach them or feel unsafe, go to the emergency department (ideally one affiliated with your cancer center, if possible, so they have your records)
- Tell them: "I'm on day 3 post-chemotherapy for large B-cell lymphoma and experiencing extreme dizziness despite normal BP and O2"
Why I'm being firm about this: According to the NCCN Guidelines for Marginal Zone Lymphomas, patients should know which side effects warrant immediate contact with their care team. Your oncology team needs to evaluate you in person to determine what's causing this and how to treat it safely.
Questions to ask when you contact them:
- Is this a known side effect of my specific chemotherapy regimen?
- Do I need to come in for evaluation today?
- What symptoms would make this an emergency room situation?
- Should I take any medications to help with dizziness?
Your care team has your complete medical picture, your specific drug regimen, and your baseline health status. They're the ones who can actually help.
Please reach out to them now. This is important.
