Question
Unexplainable fast heartbeat, minor chest pains, and short XXXXXXX of breath.
Would it be suggested to get off the Pill and consider a different contraceptive method?
I just completed my 4th pack of Microgestin Fe 1/20 and began my 5th pack on Friday.
I also forgot to mention that earlier that week on Monday, I began to run in the mornings. I ran Monday and Wednesday. The sun was very much out by then it was hot, so I don't know if that may have anything to do with this. I do remember being very out of breath, but that should be normal since I was pretty active growing up and knew that was expected.

Brief Answer:
Other tests are advised...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I have gone through your medical history and feel sorry for the situation you are in.
Your symptoms are indicative for panic attack/anxiety. However, as you are taking Microgestin, I suggest to run further tests to exclude deep vein thrombosis, cardiac problems and pulmonary embolism:
- ECG, cardiac echo
- Chest X-ray
- respiratory function test
If everything is ok, then, most probably is due to aggravation of anxiety disorder when using Microgestin.
Hope it helped! Do let me know if I can assist you further!

Thank you very much for your response, Doctor.
So, regardless of whether or not I was on the placebo week of Microgestin, this is a side effect? Would you recommend I look into other contraceptive methods? If so, would you happen to know what could be better for someone experiencing these conditions?

Brief Answer:
Condoms&IUD...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, with the hormonal changes, Microgestin might influenza heart beats.
The idea is to implement methods that cannot interfere with your heart function. Therefore, I would recommend:
- condoms
- IUD
The do not have hormones or other chemical that can interfere with heart rate, so, you won't face fast heart beats.
