What Are The Symptoms Of Copper Toxicity From Copper IUD?

Hi , I have been to the ER so many times for faint feeling, weak limbs, muscle spasms, fast heart rate or irregular heart rate. I am worried something is wrong with my organs, maybe my heart/kidneys..etc. The last Dr at the ER told me to ask my DOc at my next appt to request holter monitor for my heart. I am really lost. I've also had back pain everyday. I wear a copper iud as well, I have worries of copper toxicity. Please help!!

HI MADAM THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY. I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY PERMANENTLY THAT YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE NOT RELATED TO COPPER TOXICITY BUT TO THE IUD AND ITS COMPLICATIONS.SINCE YOU HAVE NOT MENTIONED YOUR AGE , THE NEED FOR THE DIRECT CARDIAC DISEASE IF ANY ASSESMENT CANNOT BE RULED OUT.
THE SYMPTOMS ARE MORE LIKELY SUGGESTIVE OF BLOOD LOSS ANEMIA DUE TO AN IUD FROM THE GENITAL TRACT.YOU REQUIRE THOROUGH ASSESMENT OF YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE HISTORY AND DETAILED ASSESMENT OF YOUR PELVIC SCAN.YOU NEED AN EXPERT OPINION OF YOUR GYNAECOLOGIST IN THIS REGARD.
AN HOLTER MONITORING IS NOT A TEST TO BE AWESTRUCK OR ANXIOUS. IT ONLY RECORDS YOUR 24HR ECG ON AN AMBULATORY BASIS.IT IS TO ONLY RULE OUT RHYTHM DISTURBANCES IN YOUR HEART.
I ADVICE YOU TO USE TAB CONVIRON FORTE b.d.FOR THREE MONTHS AND REPEAT BLOOD COUNTS TO KNOW THE HB %.I ONLY SUGGEST YOU FOLLOW UP YOUR GYNAECOLOGIST AND IF YOU ARE ABOVE 50YRS OF AGE ALSO CONSULT A CARDIOLOGIST.THANK YOU
