Heart palipitations symptoms and conditions

I had my Mirena inserted Jan. 2008, and just had it removed a month ago. Prior to the Mirena insertion, I had been off BC for about 2 years, following a terrible episode of severe dry eye (to the point of corneal ulceration) after using Mircette continuously (no sugar pill week) for about 3 years. I was told the Mirena was safe and that my symptoms would most likely not recur because of the low dose of hormones. I told myself that if my eye symptoms came back I would have the Mirena removed immediately.

What I wasn't counting on was the fact that many Mirena symptoms can come on gradually, and didn't have any idea that the almost continuous cycle of UTIs and Yeast Infections, as well as constant thick mucous discharge that I think now must have been mild BV, that I'd been having since the insertion could be related. I am only 28 and have had a few different partners since the insertion, and frankly was ashamed that I was somehow not being safe or clean.

About 8 months into Mirena I started having bouts of severe IBS, and after testing it turned out I had developed multiple food allergies, as well as many bacterial infections in my intestines, and a yeast overgrowth. I have been terrified ever since that my body is attacking itself, and none of the dietary and pharmaceutical treatments to treat the IBS has really helped. I also started having intense night sweats many times nightly, a dizzy foggy feeling, recurring sinusitus for the first time in my life, and shooting joint pain into my hands (which scares me to death because I'm a musician). I have also had episodes of intense anxiety, insomnia, and heart palipitations that I marked down as stress. I seem to have a doctor's appointment every other week, and for months asked if I should get the Mirena removed -- every doctor, including my excellent GYN and Naturopath, said the Mirena was not the problem.

But the worst of this is, that after all this time with comfortable, healthy eyes, my eye symptoms returned in full in Nov. 08 and no medication has been able to adequately keep the dryness and inflammation under control. It seems like a no-brainer that Mirena and more hormones brought the eye problems back, but because it had been so many months since the insertion, I couldn't make myself believe it was the problem.

Well, after searching Mirena, IBS, and yeast infections and finding so many women with similar stories, I became certain that Mirena, if not the whole problem, created a hostile environment in my body and had it removed. I immediately felt a release from depression (which I hadn't realized I had been feeling), and my sex drive went through the roof. I know it can take a long time for the body to regularize itself after so many fake hormones have been circulating for so long, and am desperately hoping that in time some of the worst side effects of the Mirena will disappear.

I started a new job in January as a nurse and started to experience what I thought were stress attacks. I always new I had a fast heart rate 124 beats per minute at times but just thought it was the way my body was. So for the last few months I have been angry, tired, had heart palpitations through out the day and just have been feeling miserable. I have been on Yasmin for 4 years. The other day at work I felt my heart pounding in my chest and checked my heart rate and it was 140 beats per minute, my blood pressure was up (I normally have low bp) and I felt dizzy. I went to my GP after work and he suggested seeing a heart specialist as I was in sinus tachycardia. I decided to do some research into whether Yasmin could cause these symptoms as I felt there must be a reason. I am so glad that I found this sight!
I am an emotional reck at the moment and am so tired!

Im 54 and already on atenelol and moduretic for Hypertention, I also have type 2 diabetes ,my Doctor started me on Lisinopril he said to protect my Kidneys. I woke up the 2nd day of taking these pills 5mg and the back of my hand and arm was red. I was very tired and didn't want to do anything. This morning , the 3rd day I woke up feeling fine and ate 1/2 choc cookie with walnuts on top, Ive eaten walnuts all my life with no problem, suddenly I felt my lips and face swelling and tongue, and my hands were burning really bad and I developed large welts on my legs and arms I had heart palpitations and got really scared. I ate some cherrios and drank some water and calmed down and the symptoms went away as fast as they had come. I found this website and will be calling my Doctor today.

I am a female and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's three years ago (looking at old childhood photos I've probably had this all my life) and have taken Levoxyl and Synthroid in escalating doses over time. Initially 25mcg for about a year and that was the endo plan until bloodwork indicated a need for more. I quit taking it after a year as it seemed I was gaining weight. After a few months went to a different endo and he started the treatment again with 25 (I weighed 160 at the time) and now has worked it to 100mcg (I now weigh 178!!!). I thought that with the higher dose I would have more of a weight loss effect (definitely not weight gain) and thought I'd have more energy, better brain function and happier outlook. I am experiencing the complete opposite. The last time I visited the endo and he looked at my weight gain he just said to "stop it". I work out almost every day for 45 minutes to 2 hours, have a job that at times requires arduous work, I eat a very healthy diet full of fiber, low in fat, low in carbs. I'm always hungry and feel like eating to make up for a lack of energy. I come home from work exhausted. This isn't living. I've had it with the Synthroid and any form of T-4 alone. I'm going to see a natural healthcare professional to try Armour because none of the medical doctors I've seen will prescribe it or synthetic T-3.

I'm 22 and have been using the NuvaRing for a few months now. Last month I started noticing heart palpitations. I found this site after looking up NuvaRing side effects, because this is the only medication I am currently taking, and I thought it could be the cause. I did see one other woman who said she noticed heart issues.......are there many others? I haven't had too much of an issue with depression but I'm not entirely able to say that the depression I HAVE experience is due to the NuvaRing because I struggle with depression anyway. I'm going to go take this thing out right now!

I really don't think anyone too young should take this product. I have only taken it for about 3 days (I know I probably sound like a hypocondriact because I haven't waited long enough to see if the side effects subside) but even in the first couple of days I felt really weird. I felt like I was sick with mono or something. I felt really tired for the first half of the day and then at night I was awake. My change in mood has made me feel a little out of it. Also my acne got much worse just in 2 days. Instead of it just being a bad it was like every new pimple was beneath the surface of my skin. I also take doxocyclin with yasmin but it doesn't seem to do much. I also feel really lathargic and odd. Very tired and my head just seems to be floting.

I know I have only been on this for 3 days but, I have work to do and I can't let this pill bring me down in that. I have to be alert and know whats going on in order for me to do my job. I don't want to be someone who still has side effects long after just starting to take this pill.

I can't say much else but I that I don't want to risk my sanity for this. I really don't think I need it now. I am only 15 and I just want other young people to be aware of the side effects. Although I was not perscribed Yasmin for pregnancy reasons, just know that taking this so early may cause problems. Anyway, good luck to all and I hope whatever BC you choose it is right for you and your body!

About six months after my daughter started taking yasmine. her moods changed, her personality changed, she was is a state of depression and was having panic attacks regularly.she lost an excessive amount of weight and was thinking about suicide. I asked her doctor and a gyn if the yasmine could possibly be causing these side effects. They both said no. So she started getting treatments for depression and anxiety and was put on medication. Paxil. This medication seemed to be helping at first but then she started having the same effects as before and she was still taking the yasmine. in the last 3 months she has been taking the birth control shot and has not taken yasmine or paxil and is now doing great. I'm really disappointed in her doctor's because a lot of her misery could have been avoided if we had been told this earlier. My daughter was on Yasmine for 2 years before I finally decide to check the side effects from the internet myself. Now she says she feels so much better and is back doing things with her friends again is having a fun teenage life. Never again will I let her use Yasmine!!!!

I am using daily low dose Lupron injections in preparation for an IVF surrogacy. This is my second try as the first embryo failed to thrive. The first cycle, the Lupron clouded my thinking and caused severe aches and pains. This time around, though, I am having more frightening symptoms of heart palipitations and chest pains that keep me from sleeping at night. It's hard to know when a doctor should be seen about these side effects or simply wait them out, as they seems to be common with this med. I am required to take this med, there is no other option, but I want to give a word of advice for those using Lupron for the treatment of ENDOMETRIOSIS- I HAD LESIONS CAUTERIZED WHEN I WAS 23 (6 YEARS AGO) AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD COME BACK INDEFINITELY. THE CONDITION IS CAUSED BY AN EXCESS OF ESTROGEN. THERE IS A SIMPLE,SIDE EFFECT FREE,AND CHEAP WAY TO REMEDY THIS CONDITION. YOU CAN GO TO A HEALTH FOOD STORE AND FOR $16-25 YOU CAN BUY A NATURAL, PLANT DERIVED PROGESTERONE CREAM THAT YOU SIMPLY RUB ON YOUR SKIN. IT WORKS! I PREVIOUSLY HAD 2 MISCARRIAGES BECAUSE I WAS LOW ON THIS IMPORTANT HORMONE. A MEDICAL DOCTOR WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS TREATMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE TRAINED IN ARTIFICIAL MEDICATIONS, NOT NATURAL. GO TO A NATURAPATHIC DOCTOR IF YOU LIKE, OR SIMPLY DO THE RESEARCH YOURSELF, AS I DID. SYMPTOMS OF LOW PROGESTERONE ARE TROUBLE SLEEPING, WEIGHT GAIN, THROID PROBLEMS,LOW LIBIDO, UNABLE TO SUSTAIN PREGNANCY. When I am not preparing for an IVF cycle, I have been using it faithfully beginning the 12th-28th days of my cycle for 6 years. You would not believe all the health problems that hormone imbalance causes. I am now in great health(sans Lupron), ideal weight, have no problems with my thyroiditis (I have not needed meds), have no trouble sleeping(normally), and have not had a single fibromyalgia flare up since (again, before Lupron) and I was able to sustain a pregnancy to have a wonderful son. AGAIN, DO NOT EXPECT YOUR DOCTOR TO INDORSE THIS, MINE DID NOT AND I HAD 2 MISCARRIAGES BEFORE FINALLY TAKING MY HEALTH INTO MY OWN HANDS. GOD IS GOOD!

Hi everyone! To answer the questions about the hair loss, it will stop. I started losing my hair about a month after stopping the Yamsin (August 2004), I have noticed in the past few months that my hair is getting thicker. I had lost about half of my hair. My beautician told me I am lucky that I had thick hair because if I didn't I would have had obvious patches of hair loss! I am NEVER going on bcps again!! My husband is going to get a vasectomy soon. I am lucky that he is so understanding and don't think that I just a crazy women! It's been almost a year and a half and I still suffer from side effects especially the week I am ovulating. Anxiety, depression, negative thoughts, heart palipitations and my face is constantly flushed. My dr put me on Zoloft May 2005 and it seemed to help for a while but I think because its the hormones that are my problem it isn't really working anymore. Adavan works much better when needed.
Stay strong ladies!!
Oh, I had to laugh at my husband the other night, he thinks we should all band together and sue the pants off of the makers of Yasmin!

STOP TAKING THIS PILL NOW AND PRINT OUT THIS WEBSITE AND SHOW TO YOUR OBGYN!!!!!! That is what I plan on doing on Fri. I am 27 yrs. old and have been on Yasmin for 2 yrs. Until I found this website, I thought that there was something seriously wrong with me and there is- This UNSAFE BIRTH CONTROL PILL. Over the past year I have experienced terrible panic attacks, anxiety, not to mention what I thought was colitis...daily stomach cramps,gas and diahrea, terrible nausea in the days directly following my last pill in my pack, heart palipitations, 5 UTI's in the past year, and about 7 yeasties, you name it. I began to suspect it was the yasmin recently when I realized that I have never experienced any of these problems before in my life, I was always healthy and happyand I was not taking any other medications. This is the only drug that I have been pumping into my body daily. It may as well have been poison at this point. I feel as if a lot of my life in the past year has been taken form me and it really pisses me off that they get away with marketing and selling this pill. It is important to give this evidence to your doctor when you go to see them. Do not let them tell you that it "may not be the right pill for you" It is not the right pill for anyone!!!! My very good friend began taking yasmin 5 months ago and in the last 4 mos. has had terrible migranes to the point where she has gone to see a neurologist. These pharm. companies just want to make money...they send reps out to doctor's offices and sing its praises and so doctors are none the wiser until we start to show them evidence that this pill is dangerous...doctors have other doctor friends that they will share this information with and so on and so on. If the FDA will not take it off the market, the doctors will at least stop perscribing it. Don't let others suffer as we have...
