Since my daughter second gardasil shot she has become tired all the time, she passed out on November 10 and was taken to the doctor. She orderd an EKG, chest xray and blood work. They called me that night and said she has an irregular slow heart beat ( which she has never had before). We went to a heart specialist the next day, he did an echo cardiogram and said things looked fine. If she passed out again, for me to call him and he sent us on our way. Tonight, while she was walking at work, it happend again. We went to E.R. and basically were told to follow up with her doctors on Monday. She is supposed to get the third shot in December, now i am afraid for her to get it. Im wondering if her suddenly getting the slow irregular heart beat, and passing out, irregular period, and headache is connected to the Gardasil. She is 17 and a senior in High School, she was planning on going to college, but now she is afraid to be alone, drive, or do anything that typical teenagers do.

Don't let her get the last shot. call 1800-nscmerck and 1-800-lawinfo to report these symptoms. Tell everyone you know not to let anyone they love get the shot. My oldest daughter had HPV and though it is scary, it is usually curable. Teach your daughter about the value of abstinence before marriage and pray she finds a man that shares the same values. I wish you all the best.

This sounds extremely similar to my daugther, She has been put on Atenalol (25 mg) every tweleve hours since. When she forgets or neglects to take it she exhibits the same symtoms and comes very close to passing out. Additionally, she had to increase her intake of fluid substantially. She is not really a water drinker (she gets bored after a while) and she has been drinking about four bottles of Fuze Slenderize and Danon Yogurt drinks during the school day. This seems to satisfy her dehydration issue. She returns to her pedriatrician bi-weekly where we have had her tested for lupus and multiple other diseases all to no avail. Prior to Gardisil, she was extremely healthy, running track and going to advanced yoga classes seven days a week. Now she has had to cease all strenuous activity and we also return to the hospital for monthly monitoring.

Thank you so much for your replys, we are going back to the pediatrician today. Also, waiting for the heart specialist to call back. Last night her pulse drops down into the low 40's and her BP becomes low, that scares me. My daughter Brittany loves to run and workout daily. Ever since this crept up on her, she has not been running much. She has always been healthy and full of energy, now she is always tired. I'm sure her doctors will try to reassure me that this is not connected to the gardasil shot. But i have a strong feeling it is. I wonder if all these symptoms will ever go away, if this is all connected to the shot.

My daughter is fainting out too, it seems after the 2nd shot she has passed out 6 times , went to ER too twice two specialist and they say she has neurocardogenic syncope. They have mentioned pace maker, she is 21, who would have guessed that something that is supposed to help you could make you so sick. I hope the drug companies and the doctors that are pushing this can sleep at night, I know that i sure could not . It is all about the money.

This appears to be a horrible drug, and with all of the side effects I'm hearing and reading about the FDA should have this crap pulled - - but it's a money making thing for them!!!! Sad so sad! I pray that your daughter will overcome these illness that has occurred since taking the shots. My daughter has had that one and I DO NOT plan to proceed with the other two.
