My wife began using Lantus approximately 2 weeks ago (11/21/05). Very early on Thanksgiving Morning, she awoke with her heart skipping beats. She had not experienced this before the Lantus injections. We wound up at the ER at the local hospital on Thanksgiving morning in Cranford, New Jersey. The Chief of the ER was on duty and after hours of blood tests and being hooked up to an EKG, he told my wife to immediately discontinue the Lantus injections and return to Novilin 70/30. However today is 12/05/05 and her pulse is still erratic at times. Has anyone experienced problems with their heart rate while using this medication? Please let me know. Thank you!!! Dan.******

I have been taking Lantus for about a year and have had extreme left side chest pain which then travels back to my shoulder blade. i also experience rapid heart pulseto the point that i cannot walk up a flight of stairs. I have been hospitalized several times due to this extreme heart pain.
I stopped taking lantus about two weeks ago and the chest pain is totally gone, short of breath is gone and i can finally breath. I feel great.
