Has anyone else had tachycardia with Orgovyx?

Just the opposite for me. Last visit to GU Oncology a few weeks back, heart rate clocked at 41 on digital BP cuff and same with manual. Doc was worried about a heart block (known side effect of Orgovyx), so he hooked me up to an EKG. Showed pulse @ 71 with a 20%+/- PVC burden (no block). Off to EP Cardiology this afternoon to see what's up. I made sure cardio-oncology was in the loop. (Same cardiology group but sometimes I have to poke them to get them to talk to each other) Guess I get to add another specialist to my doctor collection. 😁

Well, that was a waste of 3 hours. EP doc ordered an echo and sent me back to cardio-oncology. First time meeting him. Bit of a goofball. Kinda like that kid in class that was always getting yelled at for spacing out. Said he's not doing anything unless oncology signs off. Told him not to worry because I wouldn't let him stick a catheter in my heart anyway. Geez Louise!
