The breathing issue is due to ADT. It is one of the symptoms listed in the
Lupron/Eligard/Firmagon/orgovyx can cause numerous side effects. Actually due to a lack of testosterone.

Fatigue

Bone weakening

I’ve had occasions where I’ve just started, panting, even though I was at rest.

I didn't realize that my shortness of breath is most likely due to my ADT. Makes sense as it clearly started after Tx began. I will discuss with my upcoming pulmonologist appt and my next oncologist appt. I do think that my interrupted breathing through my mouth and not nose at night is also affected by my hot flashes. When I awake after 3.5 hrs. of sleep to pee - I have hot flashes, and the breathing changes from nose to mouth. So many factors with ADT. Fudgeee

I have experienced all of the listed side effects due to ADT treatment.
No bones have broken but I assume they are weak.
I read for every month you have treatment the residuals from the drugs remain in your body for the equal amount of time. In my case I had therapy for 9 months and have been off for 3. My hot flashes are slowly reducing and my stamina is improving as well. I am still short of breath and struggle to shed the 15 lbs I gained.
ADT SUCKS
