Hi, I had mirena placed two months ago after giving birth to my 3rd child. I wish I would've seen this site before I make my decision of using Mirena. My first symptom was chest pain and it was followed by heart palpitations, lower back pain, dizziness, heart burn, etc...... I asked my obgyn and he said "IS NOT MIRENA" the cause of your symptoms. I had to see a Cardiologist because I felt that I was going to die in any minute from a heart attack. My Cardiologist said you are to young to have heart problems. I had an ekg, blood work, echo, and stress test done. nothing seems to be wrong with me "Medical terms" you are fine. But I knew something was wrong, I got my own diagnosis "MIRENA" was the cause of all my symptoms. I have it removed about two weeks ago and I finally feel normal again. No more side effects. Please ladies do your own research really good before using this or any other medication that your doctor gives you and please DON'T trust your Dr. 100%, they are not always right. Good luck to all of you.

hello. I've had mirena in for over a year now and have found the major breast tenderness and heart palpitations increasing over the past few months. I have been on the anti-depressant, zoloft since the birth of my 2nd child as I sadly suffered a server bout of post natal depression...anyway, I don't believe the 2 interfere with each other, however am beginning to feel anxious about the effects the mirena may be having on my body and will take your advice and get a '2nd opinion' before i keel over as it were.
Thank you for your honesty, as I think it's given me the guts to pursue my health care professionals further.
From, Mum of 2
