Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been taking combined oral contraceptive pills but began experiencing palpitations which have increased after I stopped taking the pills about a week ago. (i) Could I be at risk of developing heart disease? (ii) Have I already developed a heart disease?
hello, I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM. Palpitations at your age may not be due to heart problem at your age.But atleast you should consult a physician if you have recurrent palpitations to evaluate for the cause.Contraceptive pills may not have any relation to this. My best wishes Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
