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

I'm in my third month of Orgovyx use and am experiencing shortness of breath. Just completed a cardiac stress test today, have had an electro-cardigram.... all are normal. I've told my oncologist about it but he replies that SOB is not a side-effect. OK, I guess I'm the exception to the rule, but anecdotally the onset started a week or two after my first dose.

It sounds like your doctor has not kept up with all the side effects. Orgovyx is ADT.
Yes, Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) can cause shortness of breath (dyspnea). While not the most common side effect, it can occur due to cardiovascular issues (weight gain, heart issues), anemia, or as a rare, serious allergic reaction. Shortness of breath is a symptom requiring immediate medical attention to rule out underlying conditions.
