HEART PALPITATIONS After a year on Yasmin, I developed heart palpitations. They first began occurring at night, while lying in bed, then progressed to the point that my heart no longer had normal beats. My heart was fluttering constantly. My OBGYN said that arrhythmia due to Yasmin is "impossible", and a $1,200 work-up by a noted cardiologist ruled that my problem was due to "emotions". Just 10 days after quitting Yasmin, my heart beat returned to normal, and I have not had one heart palpitation since.

Hello,
I might recommend that you see your family DR. and have your potassium levels checked. I have not been on this med, but being a nurse, I have heard alot about it. Your heart can have beats called PVC's and other arrhytmias/ palpitations when your potassium levels are off. Yasmin is known to throw off potassium. Also eat bannanas. They are a high source of natural potassium. I would have your K checked though.
