I’ve been on just tamoxifen for the past five months, I started noticing heart palpations last week. Anyone else experience this on tamoxifen? It is listed as a side effect, I’m just unsure what else can done.

Heart palpitations can indeed be a concerning side effect that some people experience with tamoxifen, and it's understandable to feel worried when noticing this change. It's important to discuss this symptom with your oncologist or healthcare team as soon as possible, as they can help determine if this is related to your medication and what steps might be appropriate for your specific situation.
