I am 30 years old. I was on Celebrex for 1 1/2 years due to arthritis. 2 months previous to starting I completed my first marathon and 5 triathalons. During treatment a heart murmor developed and I demonstrated a dramatic reduction of cardiovascular abilities. Now, 2 years later I developed bilateral blood clots in my veins. I am trying to determine what is happening.

My father was taking Vioxx and then put on Celebrex. He had a major heart attack last tuesday 8/30 now he has to get a tripple bypass surgery. I suspect these drugs caused this. There has been no heart problems in our family history.Please send us info on who we can speak to about legal matters thank you.

I had been taking Celebrex for four years.(400mg/day) On 3/11/04 I had to have triple bipass surgery(CABG). The only simptom I had was Cardiac Arytmia. My heart attack risk factors were low,and there is no family history of heart attack. Cholesterol and triglicerides had been low. I live in New Jersey. Does anyone know of Class Action suits or a lawywer that would take my case?

I had problems related to osteoarthritis in my back after working as a waitress for over eighteen years at Disney. The prescription Celebrex made me have heart palpitations and caused the room to darken on more than one occasion. Soon after, I slipped in a puddle in the kitchen, contorting my spine down on a wooden tray jack and blacked out for a moment. The Disney doctors claim that according to xrays, my problems are from natural degenerative illness. This was in early 2003. When I had told my doctor about the heart palpitations, she merely suggested that I should take the Celebrex less often. However I suspected something was gravely wrong so I stopped taking Celebrex. Even now sometimes my heart flutters for no apparant reason. As recently as last week I reminded the doctor’s nurse that the Celebrex had caused me trouble with heart palpitations. She tried to write that I was allergic. I said, “No, I think that Celebrex causes these problems in most people that take it”.

She crossed out the word Celebrex from my chart entirely.

Interested in others who might have noticed unusual weight gain, and had extreme difficulty losing the weight after taking celebrex. How long does it take to lose the weight after you’ve stopped taking celebrex? Definitely burning more calories than are consumed here..am convinced it’s celebrex though each doctor thinks it can’t be so. Frustrated!

I was on celebrex for a year and I’m allergic to sulfur. I would wake up numb from my neck to my feet. I ended up with asthma like symptoms, I also had sytemateic candida and etc. Yes there is a class action against.

My mother was taking Vioxx and then put on Celebrex. She had a massive heart attach last Saturday 6-25 in the emergency room. She then had another one at the hospital on 6-28 that took her life. Nothing could be done in time and I suspect this drug caused this. There has been no heart problems in our family history. Where is the lawsuits going with this???
