What Causes High Pulse Rate And Palpitations While On Microgynon Pills?
Hi, for the past 5 yrs ive been on the contreception pill microgynon. Ive suffered from a high pulse rate and palpitations ever since. I never thought that the pill can make this happen untill i googled it. My doctor never mentioned that it could so for the past yr ive been having regular ECGs because ive been worried about my heart rate and its getting worse. Also people say im a very anxiuos person, can this all be because of the pill? Going to see my gp tomorow again because of my heart rate, shall i mention this to him?

Hi,
Yes, you should mention your symptoms to your doctor. Microgynon rarely causes palpitations and anxiety. Most probably your symptoms are not related to microgynon.
Highly likely you have panic disorder. Please, consult with your doctor about your symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
