I have been taking Vagifem 25 mcg for about 3 months (about every other night or 3 times per week). I am starting to have chest pains. It feels like what might be angina, though I have never had chest pains in my life before. The drug information enclosed with the prescription does say that chest pain can be a rare but serious side effect. Anyone else had this side effect?

I too have been having a tightness of the chest and shortness of breath, I am still awaiting results of a chest xray, but after reading your report and other related articles on vagifem I am convinced they are the problem, I also started taking statins for my high cholesteral and developed tender breasts. I have been using vagifem for about 3 yrs now, they did solve my horrible symptoms of soreness, but I wonder if I need to still be taking them, the doctor said it was okay, but im not so sure.

I have had this same problem. I have tried to take HRT in the past and just recently got a prescription for vagifem. I had the same heaviness in my chest as with the oral hormones and my heart was thumping very heavily along with a slightly eratic heartbeat. I am very disapointed, I really need the vagifem. Does anyone know of a good alternative?
