I take Arimedex.I have an aratic heart beat.I take coragord for it and I`m fine.My doc told me that I couldn`t take Tomoxine because of that and so she prescriped arimedex.I was also told that there hadn`tbeen enough study on my type of case to see if taking any type of pill would help my type of cancer.It wasn`t estregon related  and only one percent progestone.My Radioligist said that it would be guess work and didn`t think I would have to take cemo at all.Now that I see this when I go see my doctor in two weeks I will ask about heart side effects.Thanks for asking question

I wouldn't take it without talking to your doctor first.\n\nSmall (81mg) doses of aspirin have some positive affects on heart disease patients.  It has also been used as preventative therapy.  But again, I'd check with the doc first.

My doctor prescribed it to me. It is dangerous, if you don't have all the proper tests done beforehand. When I went on it, I had to have a stress test, an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) a chest x-ray, I wore a holter monitor for 24 hours, and an EKG. Once cleared, I was able to get the meds, was closely monitored by the doctor, and had to go to see him every 2 weeks. You can only be on Adipex for a total of 12 weeks per year. It works, but PLEASE, by all means, don't cause yourself to starve! They are powerful, and make you forget to eat. Eat sensibly!

I take it as well on a need basis. I have not had those side effects. Go to this site, www.web.md and type it in and you will get a detailed list of side effects. If it makes you feel that way you need to tell your doctor. Call him. There are other options.

Yeah I have. But I get blood clots periodically, so I know that that pain is from a blood clot blocking the oxygen flow to my heart.\nI hope you don't have the same problem I do!

I have anxiety and I take Lexapro and Xanex for mine. They are the best that I have taken so far. I took Zoloft and Paxil, both made me feel manic and zombie like.

I know 2 people that have.  It's a fairly common side effect.  Speak to your doctor about it.

Out of curiosity, I looked up some of the common heart meds to see whether they can cause back pain.  This is what I found:\n\nACE inhibitors can cause low back pain in 0.5% cases.\n\nBeta-blockers showed small percentage of low back pain and arthralgias, some of it severe (metoprolol).\n\nHCTZ has a report about one case of significant myalgias (muscle pain) and muscle spasm.  That could happen especially in the setting of inadequate blood potassium level.\n\nThese are the most common heart meds and yes, accoridng to literature findings, they can cause low back pain. For what it's worth, though, I have been treating patients with cardiovascular drugs for some years now and have never seen this problem.  The literature reports often discuss single cases (like HCTZ) or very small percentages that do not correlate with reality of large populations that well.  By the way, all drugs now have websites...plug in your specific med and look for "Musculoskeletal adverse or side effects" area.  Hope that helps!

I had tachicardio and PVC's nothing major just a pill a day until I had dropped a few pounds (after I delivered the baby) and change in diet!\nYou should see a doctor soon though!

Yes, in the right atrium. We ended up having to get shocked to straighten it out. No more problems since two years ago.\n\nI have talked to other people who have taken medicine and gotten A Fib taken care of.

it can cause high blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, it can be serious if you are unaware of any serious medical condition that you have.  And if you take in combination with caffeine or other stimulates it can cause you to go into atrial fibrillation.  i would recommend you visit your doctor before starting any medications.

Well in my case I felt the standard stabbing pain in my chest and a numbness in my left arm, it felt like someone was standing on my chest,couldn't breathe, couldn't hardly move. Broke out in a cold sweat and a feeling that is hard to explain, helplessness came over me. Fear, I knew what was going on, I wasn't afraid honestly ,I thought it was time to check out, my family met with me at the hospital, my brothers, and we talked and even laughed about all the things we had done as kids, I could see fear in thier eyes, I tried to make it easy on them. This was a "Minor" heart attack, it did however do some muscle damage to my heart, and I have suffered 2 more in the last 8 years, all required hospital time. My problems however are not blocked arteries mine is caused by a-fib, an extreme electrical short in the heart. I have been told a pacemaker would be the next step, I am just not sure about having "The Energizer Bunny" regulating my heart beat. You only fear death my friend if you are not sure what awaits you there, I know....and there is nothing to be of afraid of there.\n\nBlessings

To be honest the correct answer is yes and no. Let me explain. If you are taking to proper amount that is perscribed then a slower resting heart rate is a side effect. If you take too much, (I know this is going to sound strange) the effect is actually the opposite. It will speed up your heart rate. And this is very bad!!!!

I had this problem. too!\nI really thought it was something with my heart...\nI went to doctor and he said that was just a result on stress and overworking (overstudying)... So, he said that the best thing is just relax and go to the gym to energize there...\nI did that...\nI started to go to the gym: not so often and i didn't work out very much...But, it helped..\nAnd, i started to eat a little less (but i didn't eat too much, just though to let you know :) )...and because of that i begun to feel lighter and all pains gone...\nHope, that will help at least a little bit :)\nHope that nothing serious with you\nTake care
