I have been on Yasmin for 3 months. The following are symptoms I have experienced during this time but I am not sure they are totally related to Yasmin...feeling tired more often, bloated, gas, slight cramps, and lots of spotting. The positive effects are that my menstral cramps have subsided and my mood swings have leveled out. Period time has less bleeding. Currently looking into matter of spotting and am hoping that soon it will go away. My gyn says to allow up to 3 months for the body to acclimate. I will soon see.

Presently on 20mg of Lisinopril. Altitude intolerance @4500 ft at Yosemite yesterday caused me to call 911 on one of the hiking paths. My blood pressue dropped to 112/60 and the side effects were severe. My hiking partner was not sure if the paramedic was joking or not when he said he could not find a pulse on me, but after 2 saline iv's I came back to life after nearly going into shock from a LOW blood pressure episode . I never want to be that sick again. I was rushed to the local clinic and diagnosed with altitude intolerance and the doc said I may need to lower my lisinopril (20 Mg) dosage, because it may well be the source of my intorerance episode. I went X- country skiing earlier this spring and had a similar experience, but not nearly as life threatning as yesterdays ambulance ride.

If it is an extended stay, take it easy and let your blood and body acclimate to the thinner air. I will ask my doctor to lower my meds to 10 mg because I now regulary jog 3.5 miles a day to keeps the pounds in check and I FEEL so much better.
