Heart pounding since diagnosed with cancer: What can I do?

In September 2021, I underwent CRS/HIPEC for appendiceal cancer. A year before the cancer was detected, my pulse started going higher and higher. Post surgery I had orthostatic changes which included a rapid pulse along with dizziness. Now that I am three months past surgery my pulse has returned to normal.

I am glad you are doing well now! Appendix cancer is kind of an orphan cancer because if it’s rarity. Was the pulse change and dizziness due to the cancer, the treatment, or the anxiety?
