Hi. I had a Mirena coil fitted five months ago for post menopausal bleeding. For the last few months I have been suffering from shortness of breath. It feels like i cannot get enough air in my lungs to take a proper breath. I end up yawning every few minutes to get enough air. This also causes me to be constantly exhausted. Ive also had bronchitis for the last few weeks. Ive had two lots of antibiotics and steroids to clear it which really hasn't helped! My oxygen saturation is 98% so thats not problem. I also have severe groin pain on the left hand side when walking. Ive just done some research and it turns out that it could all be related to the Mirena. This never occurred to me which is why its been happening for so long. Anyone else here who has had similar experience? I am waiting for a call back from my gynaecologist. TIA for any answers.
