Feeling strange?

[robertsw]

Hi I am feeling so tired and just been on a cruise were I slept quite a lot! My tongue is tingling and feel like I can't take a full breath? I am seeing my consultant next Wed so I am praying all will be ok.

Hi robertsw

If you have not had an infection, it could be that you haemoglobin is a little low, that can certainly affect your breathing. However, it may be worh checking in with your doctor rather than waiting another week, or if you have a contact at your specialist haematologist I'd give them a ring.

Stress and worry can make you feel worse.

Hoping you get this sorted out, and wishing you all the best.

Do let us know how you get on.

Hi robertsw (not sure if this is Wendy?),

I'm surprised you didn't check this out before your cruise because you mentioned this breathlessness in your last post. It's always advisable to have breathlessness checked out especially if there's tingling of the tongue because it can be cardiac related. However, tingling, (paresthesia) may be due to low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia) and as Bub says, we feel breathlessness when our haemoglobin drops because it impacts on the level of oxygen going round the body. I agree that stress exacerbates this at times too.

If you're 'feeling strange', I'd honestly urge you to have this checked out because your body is trying to alert you to a problem. It may be minor or CLL related but it's worth finding out very soon.

Best wishes,

Newdawn
