Been a long time since I posted anything. I have a question.....I've been on Sprycel 100 mg since May of 2009. Much, much better than Gleevec....whew!! Anyway, I've been experiencing chest heaviness any time I exert myself, AT ALL. Even walking DOWN stairs, I feel like someone is pushing down on my head, shoulders and chest. Sometimes I get really dizzy just bending over. I get so winded, I shuffle. Can't even pick my feet up. I have to stop, rest, then resume. I went to the doc and had chest x-rays, abdominal ultrasound, echocardiogram and blood work. I will get the results when I return to the doc 9/13. Are these symptoms of COPD, CML or side effects from the Sprycel.....? I just can't figure out why I am so weak. Any input, suggestions and experiences would be greatly appreciated!! Blessings!
