Ovarian hyperstimulation is a serious complication that can occur with ovulation induction (the purpose of giving Clomid). The signs and symptoms include marked ovarian enlargement, ascites with or without pain, and pleural effusion. A common manifestation of pleural effusion is pleuritic chest pain such as described by the patient. The other complaints are not related to Clomid use and, in fact, anxiety, depression, and emotional instability are common to the dramatic hormonal alterations that occur in patients undergoing treatment. |
