I've had the Mirena IUD for 3 years. I got the IUD for the hormone therapy because I had heavy periods. I didn't get it for contraception. Since getting the IUD I have experienced chest pains, heart palpitations, memory loss, & light headedness. I repeatedly asked my gynecologist if the symptoms were from the IUD and she said no. I ask my primary care doctor and she said the same thing. I've had EKG's, worn a heart moniter for 30 days & did a stress test. They found nothing wrong. I just got out of the hospital for chest pains. I had the IUD removed today. I am so glad I came across the comments because I felt strongly that my symptoms came from the IUD. So far I still feel light headed. The heart palpitaions & chest pain are faint . I will see how much better I am over the next few weeks. The only thing I will hate is to have my heavy bleeding againg but I would better have that instead of the heart symptoms.
