Radiation treatment to the breast area could affect the heart, causing things like hardening of the arteries (which can make you more likely to have a heart attack later on), heart valve damage, or irregular heartbeats. It might also cause swallowing problems, cough, or shortness of breath...seizures may be evaluated in detail as it may be due metastatic breast cancer... I would suggest you to discuss the issues with your treating doctors they will guide you better.
