After being completely perplexed as to why every month, I am experiencing these horrendous chest pains I found two pieces of research that are of particular interest about women's menstruation, varying levels of oestrogren and heart disease. I haven't previously found anyone that understood why/how this happens, but loads and loads of women on medication.com who reported sometimes, almost immediate chest pains.
The first published by BBC in 2004 (google chest pains and menstruation) basically confirms that a woman is more vulnerable to sudden, serious heart disease during the time of the menstrual cycle when her oestrogen levels are at their lowest. (Known as 17-oestradiol which circulates in the bloodstream and dip sharply around menstruation. -Experience of chest pains during this time when there is not enough blood flow to the heart. This study was conducted by a team from Laval University in Quebec Canada. Their research confirmed a rise in reported cases of serious heart disease among pre-menopausal women. Aged 35-47. These women were admitted to the hospital for heart attack or chest pain. What is particularly interesting, is that 20 of the women reported heart related problems within five days of the beginning of their period when oestrogen levels are at their lowest. What is particularly interesting is that even though this article points to this being more common in women over 55, yasmin has been identified as having more risk to blood clots and heart troubles than other pills and am wondering how its effects on our hormones make us more suscectible to heart disease.

I have recently been on this website to find out side effects of Levaguin. The reason for my interest was the side effect that I experienced. I was given Levaquin, 250mg a day for prostate problems and on the 12th day of a 14 day prescription I started to have blurry vision in my left eye. I quit taking the drug but the blurriness never ended. I had just been to an eye doctor for a new eye glass prescription only three weeks prior to me taking this drug and had correctable 20/20 vision, in both eyes. It has been over three weeks and my left eye never returned to clarity. I went and saw a different eye doctor and he said that I developed cataracts in my left eye and that I would have to have surgery if I wanted to get my vision back to 20/20. I'm only 54 and I can't believe this happened to me. I mean how does cataracts develope in just three weeks? So I printed nine months of these posts and counted 14 other reported cases of eye problems and one mention of cataracts. But has this really happened to someone else? I wish to contact anyone else that has had similar problems. Can anyone advise?
