I can't help much other than to say that I'm taking Fortamet (which is Metformin) for diabetes and Spironolactone for PCOS and I haven't had any problems. But heart palpitations can be serious...you best check with your doctor!

Someone posted recently on the Alternative Remedies board that she was having a rapid pulse while on Spiro. She said that it lowered her blood pressure too much which made her heart beat faster. Here is the link to the thread:
