Take blood thinner to prevent clots. Eliquis. Side effect is extreme bruising and heavy bleeding for smallest cut. Do you see a cardiologist for shortness of breath. A lot of factors can cause. If you don’t schedule an appointment immediately

Yes, multiple myeloma patients can experience shortness of breath, which is a common symptom. This can be due to several factors, including:

- Anemia: Low red blood cell counts can lead to poor oxygen circulation, causing shortness of breath.
- Kidney Problems: Kidney damage or failure can result in fluid buildup in the lungs, leading to breathing difficulties.
- Hyperviscosity: Thickening of the blood due to myeloma proteins can also cause breathing issues.

If you experience these symptoms, it's important to consult your doctor for proper management and treatment.

I have had occasional shortness of breath. Not sure why. No heart or lung issues. I’ve read it can be a side effect of the meds. Or anxiety.
