Guest guest Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Have you asked your physician about this, Terry? I don't recall anyone here having reported irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia associated with methotrexate. But, apparently, it can happen when methotrexate is used to treat cancer (tumor lysis syndrome). How long has this been going on? Does it occur only just after you take the MTX? How much MTX do you take and for how long? What other drugs? Any changes lately?
