Continuosly symptoms and conditions

OMG!!! This is crazy! I was put on Yaz continuously to help with my heavy painful periods. About 3 days after starting it I went for some allergy testing. That night I started itching like crazy...all over my body. The next day I called the allergist to ask if this was a normal response and he told me that it wasn't from the testing and to take some Benadryl. The next day I started having these massive heart palpitations and feeling like I was going to pass out...still itching non-stop. This went on for a week until I finally called my GYN's office to see if it was possible that the pill could be causing this. They told me to stop it immediately as I could be having an allergic reaction. Within days of stopping the pill I was symptom free! Out of curiosity and desperation for relief of some of my period symptoms...I waited a cycle and started YAZ again. I have now been on it about a month. 2 weeks into it...the itching started again...but not as bad,..but now the heart palpitations are back...and worse! Yesterday my heart rate was 138 and lasted for a good 10 minutes. I have an appt, to see my primary in 2 days to just get checked and make sure that nothing else is going on. I can't believe that you all are experiencing this...I'm opting for the IUD now. Good Luck to all of you!

I have been on Lo-es for 4 yrs now and just recently started having side effects. I was diagnosed with migraines back in Sept 08. My doctor told me to take the pill continuously. That seemed to work for a while. My periods which started out painful and heavy went to super light and no pain. But now it is the same thing again and I am bleeding throughout the month with no stopping. My latest side effects, I have notice swelling in my feet, toes and calves. It is painful and gets worse as the day goes on. Since Sept 08 I have gain 50 lbs. My doctor is running blood tests every two weeks to find out what is wrong with me. So far everything has come back normal. After reading what you ladies have posted I am thinking of taking my self off of this pill. I take it for regularity. I had my tubes tied 7 yrs ago and since then my periods gradually got worse that is why OB put me on Lo-es
