I'm really curious about something. I took 20mg of tadalafil about four days ago and noticed that my usual heart rate, which is in the 70s or 80s, has dropped to the 60s. Could tadalafil be causing this change in heart rate? Should I be concerned?

Tadalafil, commonly known as Cialis, is not typically known to directly reduce heart rate as a common side effect. However, it is possible for some individuals to experience changes in heart rate as a result of using tadalafil. In your case, the decrease in heart rate from the 70-80s range to the 60s range could be a potential effect of tadalafil. It is important to monitor your heart rate and if you have any concerns or experience any other unusual symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been having these short period chest pains for about 6 months now, and honestly, it's freaking me out a bit. I got my ECG and Doppler tests done, and they came back normal. I'm also taking esoz d every morning for gastric issues. But, the chest pains still show up sometimes, and I can't help but worry about them being signs of a heart attack. What do you think is going on here? Any guidance would really help.
