Yasmin-high blood pressure and low magnesium I have been on Yasm...

Yasmin-high blood pressure and low magnesium I have been on Yasmin for 10 months. I got on it after my doctor took me of Orthocyclene because my blood pressure was 160/120 (no joke). I took 25 mg of Atenolol for 3 weeks and my pressure got better but was still 138/90 so I was put on 50 mg and reassigned to Yasmin. Eventually I went down to 25 mg of Atenolol but I didn't feel "right". I started to have significant heart palpitations, racing heart, skipped beats. Sometimes I felt a pressure on my chest and a wierd pressure/pain in my upper back, lump in my throat. I thought I had allergies and anxiety... Sometimes I would be in bed at 3:00 am and wake up because my hear was racing. I went to the doctor and she said my magnesium is low. After 2 weeks on supplements it went up from 1.8 to 1.9 and so I still have to take it (I'm back on 50 mg of Atenolol too). I hate this, I've never taken ANYTHING, don't go to the doctor... nothing. What the hell is wrong with me?! I'm thinking about getting off Yasmin because I'm worried it's not letting me process magnesium which could be contributing to my high blood pressure. Does anybody know about this?
