Severe Depression, Trouble Focusing eyes, Lumps in Breasts, heavy feeling on chest. When I was on Yasmin I had constant headaches and I felt like I had to concentrate on remembering to breathe. It's the weirdest feeling having to "remember" to breathe. This may sound strange, but It felt like my chest was so heavy and my energy levels so low that if I didn't think about breathing, then within 30 seconds I would gasp. BAAAD medication. I remember laying in bed thinking, ok... and breathe again (my life sucks (due to the depression the Yasmin caused))... oh that's right ... I forgot to breathe there for a second. What I would like to know is what condition I have that would cause such a response from my taking this medication. I have low blood pressure as well. Perhaps I should get an EKG done?? I've been to the doctor many times about my PCOS symptoms and she thinks I'm a hypocondriac. Which I know I am not. I am just more in tune with my body than some people. I have to be, because I don't respond to medications the way others do and so i have to be my own doctor. I don't know why they haven't checked me before. When i was on Diane 35 I felt like i was going to have a heart attack and I slept for 2 days straight in my bed without getting up to do much other than eat and drink. Being so young (23) i think the doctors think that i'm not at risk for heart or stroke. But according to this book i've been reading hormone imbalances can cause heart attack or stroke without any other predisposing factors. Why doesn't my GP know this. Why do I know more than these doctors!!!!!!! And yet still don't know what the heck is going on??
