Decapeptyl injection

[Lisaworthy1981]

Has anyone had the injection named above and suffered from palpitations???

I’ve started with the them last two days but only every now and then and thinking it could be the injection!!

I think you should call the NHS on 101 and tell them your symptoms. I would also ring your clinic in the morning. I haven't been on your medicine and am no expert, but think that heart palpitations could be a sign of a problem like hyper stimulation or something. I would seek proper medical advice tonight if I were you.

I’ve looked at the symptoms and it says palpitations can be one!! I might right tomorrow though and just see!! I’m doing a medicated fet so no chance of over stimulation!! The injection was to shut my hormones down and she said symptoms can be like going through the menopause xx

Hi Lisaworthy1981. Yes, it is a side effect of the drug, but should settle. If it continues, then pop and see your GP for a check just to confirm it is is the drug and nothing else. Good luck. Diane

Brilliant thank you!! I thought it would be as I’ve never had it before and had the injection a week ago!! So thought side effects might be kicking in now xx
