Heart palpitaions symptoms and conditions

Heres my Levaquin horror story:

In hospital for bowel obstruct. Took LevaQ. at home. 1/2 way through I noticed I wasn't feeling any better but worse while recovering. Starting sleeping for 3 hr intervals, while up I would feel as if I wanted to jump out of my skin. Calf pain. Dizziness. Intermittent instenseTingling around mouth and face. Called my MD.
I was put back in hospital due to a platelet count of 'one million'. My MD who is wonderful, consulted with others, even an oncologist. I refused a bone marrow aspiration, so they came up with a game plan -- possible reaction to the Levaquin???? So... 'flush out the Levaquin'. With each day of continuous mass flushing of IV fluids....my platelets decreased daily.
3 years later...I getting intermittent tingling, flu like symptoms, dizziness, heart palpitations, extreme fatigue-------------still looking for answers to my illness. Just had more blood work - lymphocytic profile was drawn, waiting on results. Definitely am anemic, chronic slight rise in liver enzymes with last sed rate and wbc count in norm range.

Wow, I am so excited to find this site. I have been on Yaz for 9 days now, & I am stopping today. I am shaky, cranky, bloated, having heart palpitations, extreme head pressure, back pain. On top of all that I feel like it is the week before my period times 10. My patience is very short & I am having angry thoughts that I have never had before. I thought it was just me. I am so glad I'm not alone. My eyes also feel pressure & hurt. My husband said that after a few days of taking it I have seemed withdrawn & in la la land. I am also very clumsy, dropping things all the time, & forgetting little things. This birth control is not good!!!!

I started taking Yasmin on Monday April 21st, and by Wednesday morning I wanted off of it. I started getting really bad leg cramps all the time, I feel dizzy all the time, I have trouble concentrating, and I have trouble breathing. The worst part is that I have heart palpitations now. My heart feels all butterfly-like or it feels like it's beating really slowly really hard. I just spoke with my doctor, and she says to stop taking it immediately.

After reading this website I see I'm not the only one affected by horrible side-effects from Yasmin.

hello all,
I had my Mirena put in on October of 07. due to heavy bleeding which caused severe Enemia. I have since had problems with very Low potassium, re-occurring yeast and bacterial infections and some heart palpitations. The latest symptom I have been experiencing is numbness in my left leg and foot. sometimes totally numb. My dr. told me that it could be a pinched nerve in my back but I have not done anything to strain or stress it. after reading this website i am convinced that these symptoms are caused by my IUD.
I am going to call my OBGYN tomorrow and have this IUD removed!!!!!

I was only on the yasmin for 2 weeks but started having heart palpitaions and a bit of anxiety. I have been off for a week and a half now but I was in the ER 2 days ago due to the heart palpitations and maybe a small anxiety attack. My blood pressure was a little high(higher than normal for me, it was 131/97) I am usually low. They did an EKG, a chest x-ray and blood tests and the only thing they came up with was that my potassium levels were low which can cause heart palpitaions. The thing that I thought was strange was that they asked if I had been taking a diuretic. Yasmin has DRSP which is similar to Spironolatone (a potassium sparing diuretic)
They told me that if anything this would have spared the potassium but I am not convinced this seems very strange. This was the only medication I was on and I have never experienced heart palpitations or high blood pressure before.
Does anyone have any input about this?

I went on Adviar and started getting chest pain, then heart palpitaions so bad I was brought to the ER for a possible heart attach. I know it works for some so they can have it.

hi everyone, i have never seen so many people that had side effects from birth control. i thought i was the only one gees!!

AFTER I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN 1997 I GOT ON DEPO, IT WORKED JUST FINE FOR ME FOR 7 YEARS EXEPT THE HORRIABLE HEADACHES AND THE WEIGHT THAT NEVER SEEMS TO COME OFF.

SO AFTER 7 YEARS I THOUGHT I WOULD CHANGE TO ORTHO TRI CYCLIN, TO SEE IF I COULD LOSE SOME WEIGHT AND FOR THE HEADACHES TO GO AWAY, YAH RIGHT, THAT PILL HURT MY BREAST SO BAD I THOUGHT I WAS PREGNANT AGAIN! SAME HEADACHES AND NO LOSING WEIGHT. AND TO TOP IT OFF I STARTING HAVING HEART PALPITATIONS THINKING I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK!

SO I CALLED MY DOC AND TOLD HER MY SYMPTOMS, SO SHE SWITCHED ME TO YASMIN, AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS ,THE OTHER STUFF I CAN DEAL WITH BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD HEART PALPITAIONS BEFORE. I THINK I HAVE HEART PROBLEMS AND I GOING TO END UP HAVING A ATTACK.

BUT AFTER HEARING OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, THAT SO CRAZY!!!!! AND OF COURSE WHEN YOU TELL THE DOCTOR THEY THINK YOUR CRAZY, THEY NEED TO PUT ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS IN THIS FORUM IN THE INSERT FOR THE PILLS CUZ IF EVERYONE KNEW THE REAL SYMPTOMS OF THESE PILLS NO ONE WOULD TAKE THEM AT ALL!!!!

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING ! -NICOLE-

The user who said he had heart palpitaions and while trying to fall asleep, or after falling asleep, he had a sound and feeling that sounded and felt like a "PING" in his brain (it felt as though a nerve or vessel had exploded at its end). has described what i have been trying to tell doctors for the past three years. I was using Flovent and Servent at the time. At work I had what must have been an anxiety attack (which I've never had before) and after setting in my chair for nearly an hour (took some asprin and trying not to move because this just increased the heart rate) my palpitations soon were down. After ER visit (nothing found), that night and for several night, I had the same PING and palpitations. Got off Flovent and Servent. Recently had to try Advair--same thing. Can't take the stuff. You're the only other person who has described it so accurately. I haven't been able to find anyone else who has had that PING. Finally I can tell my doctors that I'm not crazy---IT HAPPENS. Thanks

I suggest to anyone who is taking Advair, please stop taking this poison! Let me tell you about my life for the past week. First of all, I am 33 years old and in pretty good health except for asthma which I have had since I was 18. I have been on Advair for a little over a year. I was on Serevent before that. I also take Singulair which I love. Let me start with the past week of my so called life. After 3 weeks of feeling extremely exhausted and not being able to stand up without being dizzy, I woke up one morning and thought my heart was going to pound through my chest. I spent an entire day sitting in one spot trying to keep calm while my heart raced and skipped and pounded. Trying to sleep that night was a joke because there was no change . The next day I went to my Chiropractor/Kinnesiologist. His first suspician was my Advair inhaler. I really had him puzzled because my blood pressure was high for the first time ever and he could hear my heart skipping a beat. I did not think he was right about my inhaler because there was NO WAY it could be making me feel this awful.Yet over the entire week that he treated me he was still possitive that I was having a severe "chemical" reaction. On the sixth day of heart palpitaions, skipping beats, and no sleep ( I would try to sleep but every time I would start to doze off, an electrical charge would go through my body) I decided to go to my MD for peace of mind. My heart rate was alarmingly high but my EKG showed a very strong healthy heart! They put me on a holster heart moniter for twenty four hours. I am still waiting to hear the results. My doctor also lowered my dosage from 250/50 to 100/50 which I took only one day until I found this website. My inhaler went in the trash yesterday. I got my first nights sleep last night and today my heart is MUCH calmer. It is still a little shaky and I can't wait for this chemical to leave my system. Over the past year I have gone from a healthy, active 33 year old to a 33 year old in a 90 year old body. I have thought that I was developing Rhuematoid arthritis due to extreme pain in my shoulder, hands and neck. Then I was even convinced that I had Fibromyalgia. I have been so tired. I have had a rash develop that I could not explain on my arms and legs. I have forgotten what it is like to sleep a normal night. I believe that this is all the workings of Advair. I am in the process of finding out if I have any legal rights. This drug has taken a year of my life away since I feel like I have been in a fog. I forgot to mention short term memory problems. I did not agree to be a lab rat. Once again, if I had not found this website I don't know how long it would have taken me to figure it out or atleast believe my Chiroprator (Thank God for him!). Throw your advair in the trash where it belongs!!
