So I went to the ER last week with a 3 week bout of palpitations and huge PVC's. I felt like a fish was flopping in my chest and then my head would feel light and tingly. I get palpitations with each cycle and it usually only last a day or so, but this was 3+ weeks straight and was severe like 40-50 times an hour. The ER said that they did their job and ruled out heart attack and stroke and to follow up with my cardiologist....well, instead, I made an appointment with my OBGYN to have this mirena taken out. I get it out on Friday.
Now, one question I have is about the diabetes drug Metformin. I take that for PCOS and I had stopped taking it for like 3 months and recently started back again. I was wondering if that had anything to do with it. Metformin is a drug that is used for fertility treatments as well since many women with PCOS are insulin resistant the drug makes the insulin better and hormones regulated. I wonder if this has anything to do with it???? My sleep has been utter CRAP!!! And I am a sleep technologist. I am very militant on my sleep and it sucks when I cannot get my sleep.
