@deccak See whether you qualify for transdermal Estradiol patches. A recent study showed these are as effective as other ADT but with fewer side effects and actually builds bone rather than weakens it. A bit of nipple radiation is recommended to avoid gynecomastia. Best wishes for better experiences.! Here's one article link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7614681/

Thanks! Right now I'm taking an "ADT vacation", as I've done several times in the past. What seems to be happening with the Cardiac issues is either drug-induced toxicity or simply low testosterone cardiac irritability.
I've considered Estradiol and even researched surgical castration (to eliminate the possible drug toxicity), but definitive proof as to what exactly is going on, I don't have...no one can determine the ultimate source...
Being off ADT for short periods of time very much relaxes my heart and I take far less dosages on my BP meds...(so you know SOMETHING is going on with the ADT>CV issue relationship)...
Blessings
