Chemo stopped due to heart issues/bradycardia

Anyone else have this? Had 2 rounds of cisplatin/pemetrexate and each time my heart would drop below 60 for days. Usually runs in the 80s at rest. I was running around town, doing all kinds of things and didn't realize it wouldn't get above 60. I was confused for days after while this was happening I see now. THEN after a few days, it would go over 100 and stay there, drop to the 40s and be all over the place for weeks. Could't breathe well, palpitations. miserable. Cardios here don't understand it and not sure I wouldn;t die from it if i attempt chemo again. Rock and hard place. Anybody else have this?
