Hi ladies. I am also glad I have found this website. I have had the Mirena for almost 2 years now and I have noticed many of the side effects that everyone has mentioned, especially cramping and anxiety. One thing that started a few weeks ago were heart palpitations. HAS ANYONE OUT THERE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS? It has been really scary and I have been to a cardiologists who did several tests and can't find anything wrong with my heart, and I have never had them before. It is going on 3-4 weeks of having them, on top of feeling irritable, anxious, easily stressed out, memory loss, and just overall not myself. I am beginning to think the Mirena could be the root of all this. I am thinking of having in taken out to see if the heart palpitations go away......It would be great to know if anyone else has experienced this.

Downhill - Hi, I also had heart palpitations/panic attacks and I ony had the Mirena for a few weeks. I wonder are you a smoker? I ask because after a couple of weeks with the Mirena, everytime I had a cigarette was when it hit me worst as well as random times of the day. I had never suffered this before and since having it removed have not had another attack. It was so bad I gave up smoking!!!!!!!

Grantsmommy - You are definitely not alone with the palpitation & panic attack thing...I just went to the urgent care myself last week absolutely convinced that I was having either a heart attack or a pulmonary embolism!! I had been having anxiety, racing heart & chest pain x 6 days-but I had tests run and I was FINE...I am scheduled to have the Mirena out on Monday (yeah!!). This is actually my 2nd one as the first one was great, but the past 2 years with this one have been pure hell!!

Ejsmom - I have been having constant heart palpitations for the last month...I have had the mirena since December of2009. I went to the cardiologist and had ekgs and stress test and he said im having pvcs and its not going to hurt me. I'm only 30 years old. I have asked my doctors and they say its not the mirena. I'm so tired of this..my gut tells me its the mirena. I feel I can really relate to your post cause we are both having the same problems
