Orgovyx and its side effects on the heart's electrical system

I've been taking Orgovyx for over two years with few side effects. But I have been experiencing episodes of dizziness and light-headedness over the last few months.

My cardiologist has diagnosed bradycardia (a slow heart beat that can cause such episodes). I will need a pacemaker.

I know a side effect of Orgovyx is Long QT Syndrome, which, like bradycardia, affects the heart's electrical system.

I wonder if bradycardia needs to be added to the list of Orgovyx's serious side effects.

I have been on several drugs that can produce symptoms as you have described. I had a friend with the same problem as you describe and took the info I am giving you and the problem was alleviated. No medical advice but I suggest you research magnesium and curcumin for heart/rythm. God bless.

That’s a good heads up, Boonster. My MO performed an EKG which was normal. I’ll make sure to ask for another at my next check up.
