should be discussed with your doctor. They could be related to the birth control that your body is still adjusting to.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Definitely get in to see your doctor before your big day, if anything for your peace of mind!

I agree with Alysia, that it is best to see your doctor. With any new prescription, it is important to let your prescribing doctor of side effects (like heavy bleeding) so that they can correct the dosage or prescribe another type of medication.
The good news is that there are many, many types of birth control pills (and other types of contraception as well), so that "one-size-does-not-fit-all" is true when it comes to birth control...you may need to try a couple of different pills (I assume you are taking the pill?) before you find one that is right for you.

September 5, 2008 - 8:16amwell the panic attacks have totally gone
the fast heartbeat still happens but not near as fast, and i don't feel it racing. i have sinus tachycardia ECG said, which they say is normal. I was also recently told I have a heart murmer, thats why they sent me for echo, but it nothing to worry about.
