What Causes Rapid Heart Rate And Breathlessness While On Depo Provera?

I m 45, 5 4 , 125 lbs & have no medical history other than pmdd. I fist took depo provera when I was 29 -38 to help pmdd & it worked wonders. I started the shot again in Jan. to once again control pmdd. I enjoy jogging and working out and I m quite fit. Recently, I struggle getting through a workout video due to rapid heart beat & shortness of breath. Also, the last three nights I ve experienced night sweats & wake up experiencing shortness of breath which makes me anxious. Are these side effects from the shot?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would like to advise you to immediately go to an emergency department as possibility of a blood clot formation is there with use of Medroxyprogesterone. The blood clot might have travelled to your lungs and causing you such symptoms of breathlessness, increased heart rate, and shortness of breath.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Navneet Mahajn
