Hi dontknow2004, welcome back!

I think heart palpitations can be a side effect of hormonal contraceptives. If I were you I'd mention your symptoms to your doctor right away and be guided by his or her advice. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

Hi there,

I definitely had some heart palpitations when I switched from Alesse to Yasmin and back ... I have a heart murmur anyway, so my docs did some EKGs and I had to wear the 24-hour heart monitor just to be safe - though they didn't really believe that it was from the BCPs. I do think that any side effects are possible, so like Jill said, I"d definitely let your doc know just for the peace of mind.

I think we've had another member who had issues like that with one pill she was on, it definitely couldn't hurt to mention it!
