ADT Side Effects: Anyone had increased shortness of breath at rest?

@jeffmarc I experienced shortness of breath when doing a brisk walk or jog with/after my grandkids; it wasn't a problem pre-Orgovyx. I completed my short-term 6 months ADT three days ago, post-April 2025 SBRT. I anticipate to find out after a couple months, when Orgovyx shall have been out of my system, if I will be back to doing brisk walks or jogging with no shortness of breath.

I walk a mile on the track across the street twice every day. I started drinking electrolytes before going out and I can run around the track the whole time without any breathing problems. If I don’t drink the electrolytes, I can only run halfway around the track and I have to walk for a little while and then I can run again.
It really surprise me how much electrolytes helped.
