Hi everyone,
I posted here back in January 2006 when I first suspected Yasmin being the cause of all of my health issues. My worst symptom though not my only one, has been crushing chest pain that becomes worse with a change in movement and is worse the more I move.
I haven't been back to this site since, as I have been trying to find out what is wrong with me and/or find a cure.
I have been off Yasmin since January 10th 2006.
I have been to my gynocologist, an internist, two cardiologists, a pulmonologist, and a gastroenterologist. No one can figure out what is wrong with me. Other symptoms that I had have eased up -namely the anxiety, hair loss, vision disturbances and confused thoughts..
Before taking Yasmin, I was never sick and only went for my annual checkups before this happened. I have 3 children and a busy job..this has been a very long nightmare.
I am not well yet. I still have the chest pain-I am getting used to it when it's just "regular" but if I exert myselt the slightest bit, it is awful and I suffer for weeks afterward. I am tired, my chest hurts.
I have been to the hospital and had a gazillion tests.
My question for anyone out there is this..Has anyone who experienced the chest pain found anything that helps?
I used to maintain a vigorous exercise program before this happened..now I can barely walk or stand for very long before my chest hurts. In additon my legs ache ...I'm not sure if that is from Yasmin or just from no longer being able to exercise.
Please post if you've found an answer. I would be so grateful.
thank you and good luck to everyone who has taken Yasmin. My thoughts are with you.
