My dad's heart rate is all over the place, and his lungs are full of fluid. He just flew back across the country on Sunday.
He does have a blood clot predisposition (Factor V Leiden) as well. He also has extremely LOW blood pressure. (though it's high right now)
The ER doctor thinks it may either be a blood clot or pnemonia. Or, something to do with the cancer. He has multiple lung mets, which had started to shrink on the torisel. (though they grew on sutent)
His blood pressure is so low at times that he gets really dizzy. Today, he needs oxygen to breath. His respiratory rate is going up when he tries to talk, and his heart rate is irregular. (they slowed it down bby giving him some meds).
Has anyone had experience with atrial fibrillation from the torisel? Did it every cause a blood clot, and subsequent fluid in the lungs?
We're worried......
