I too get the chest pressure. I have just completed 3 rounds of vidaza, have MDS, and have been receiving transfusions for blood and platelets. From what I have read, I chalk it up to my red blood cells being low. But for me it becomes very hard to discern whether the symptoms are from the disease or the treatments. The chest pressure is sometimes there, and sometimes not. I do not fare well at all from the Vidaza, and it takes a toll on me mentally and physically. Perhaps it is keeping progression of the disease at bay, though, that is the dr.s belief until transplant time.
