I had chest tightness with Avastin...thought I was symptomatic of a heart attack. Also had elevated blood pressure now controlled with meds. They reduced the dosage of Avastin and I haven’t had a problem since. Definitely report symptoms to your Dr or go to the ER and get checked out! I don’t know anything about side effects of Doxil. Thoughts and prayers are with you🙏🏼

Please let us know how you are doing. I am assuming that by now you have told your doctor.
