Hello Maxandlala

I hope that you've been able to speak with someone today from Oncology who was able to give you some advice and reassurance about the sypmtosm that you've been experiencing since starting this round of treatment. 

As you can see from the information we have about capecitabine, heart problems such as changes to your heart rate or rhythm, angina or heart attack are listed as rare side effects. Your wife did exactly the right thing in getting you to the hospital to have things checked and hopefully, with the right support from the specialists, the side effects may settle. But if you're worried at any point, don't be afraid to contact the hospital, Dr or emergency services for support. 

Best wishes,
