PALPITATIONS and CALQUENCE (Alacabrutinib)

[unairdefamille]

Interested in knowing what simple ways you found to deal with palpitations that increase fatigue while on that medication. I'm scheduled to speak to my doctor in 2 weeks.

I'm on Calquence and know that I am asked at each monthly review if I have heart palpitations as it can be a sign of atrial fibrillation. You need to report these to your consultant. I did have heart palpitations but then I stopped drinking tea and coffee and my heart palpitations stopped right away.

It's important you mention these to your doc.

I appreciate you sharing your experience 😊. How long have you been on CALQUENCE?

[Eucalyptus22 in reply to unairdefamille]

Been on it exactly 1 year. Bloods have been in normal range since month 4. No side effects really. Very good drug and I feel incredibly well on it.I'm sure you will too. Good luck with it.
