What should I do if I always feel dizzy after chemotherapy for breast cancer?

Breast cancer is a high-incidence disease among women. In order to promote the reduction of the tumor volume, patients generally need to undergo local chemotherapy, which can effectively relieve breast swelling and pain caused by cancer. However, chemotherapy can cause toxicity and side effects to the body, such as dizziness, so it is best to treat it scientifically.

1. Improve anemia

Chemotherapy can easily lead to a decrease in the number of platelets in the body, which can lead to cerebral anemia and dizziness. Once anemia occurs, patients should supplement iron and vitamins in time, and take ferrous sulfate tablets and vitamin B12 drugs appropriately. In order to promote hematopoietic function, patients can use the following drugs strictly according to the doctor's instructions, such as danazol, testosterone undecanoate, etc.

2. Chinese medicine to enhance immunity

Because the patient's immunity decreases after chemotherapy for breast cancer, it is easy to have problems such as dizziness and headache. In this case, patients need to actively use Chinese medicine to enhance immunity and replenish qi, such as ginseng, astragalus, wolfberry, gastrodia, angelica, rehmannia, and notopterygium, which are beneficial to promote cell activity. Do not drink alcohol during taking Chinese medicine.

3. Treat colds

If patients catch a cold after chemotherapy for breast cancer because they do not keep warm, they need to get enough rest and eat a light diet. They can also take medications according to the cause, mainly including rehabilitation granules, compound acetaminophen tablets, etc. Patients can also consider acupuncture, massage and scraping treatments in hospitals to relieve dizziness.
