Something is happening in my throat at night. It feels like my throat is "sticking together" or swelling up--- or something. Have had sleep apney test and it was not the problem with the very dry, closing up feeling in my throat at night. I would like to know if anyone has experienced this. Taking 20 mg of Zocor at night ---but thinking of not taking it. Voice sounds like a bad case of lyrangitis. Bad voice.

Hi to everybody.
replying to lilahk, i also had a fast heartbeat while on yasmin. I had one episode that really frightened me. My heart just started to race and would not slow down. I had an ecg done that afternoon and it just showed a very rapid heartbeat and pulse.
I did have a follow up appointment in which the doctors described it as a tachycardia. I stopped taking yasmin shortly after that and never experienced it again.
I can only describe it as feeling a butterfly in my chest. This went on for about 24 hours and then went back to normal.
I cant imagine what it must be like to have it ongoing. At least you are off yasmin now. As you will see from all the other ladies here it takes a while for your body to get back to normal after yasmin.
I really do believe that a good multivitamin helps a lot because i feel that for myself, yasmin depleted a lot of vitamins and minerals in my body. I was on yasmin for 4 years.
Please go to your doctor and tell them what is happening to you. Sometimes reasurrance is a great healer. It is terrifying when something is happening to you and no medical person will help or believe you. Maybe you are lucky enough to have a good doctor. I hope so.
Insist on answers. I had to.
Most of all try not to get too anxious about things. I know that when i was feeling bad i worried and then i felt worse. You will start to feel ok again soon. It just takes a little while for yasmin to leave your body.
Keep us posted on how you are getting on and i wish you the best of luck.
