A few months ago, I noticed my heart pauses every couple of minutes. I was told I have pvc's or premature ventricular contractions. Probably benign-- I still have a follow up with cardiologist to verify. However, I see that mtx can cause irregular heartbeats and I wonder if it is causing them. Has anyone experienced this?
Ive never seen palpitations as a side effect of methotrexate. They however can be a sign of folate deficiency so you might try increasing your foolic acid dose and see if that helps. They can also occur with too much caffeine or as a side effect of codeine and caffeine combined. And of course they can have no known cause. They can be irritating but not usually worrisome
Jodi. I don't think there is much benign about a PVC. It needs to be checked
