Having breathing problems since taking yaz?-- I have been reading all the postings on ladies having breathing problems. It has been maybe 7 years ago now, but I feel a necessity to share my story. I had been on Yaz for 2 months. I became short of breath to the point I could not walk across the room without having to sit down. My primary dr did an EKG and immediately had me rushed to the ER for test. I was sent to different specialist and over $10K in test were done within a week. By this time I WAS ON OXYGEN! They ran blood work, test on my heart, lungs and checked my legs for blood clots. I ask my GYN if it could be the Yaz. (the only med I was taking) and he said no- never heard of such. I took it upon myself to stop taking it and guess what!---I immediately was better. I turned my oxygen tanks in, doctor's never diagnosed me and I never heard from them again. I am 34 and have always been healthy with the exception of this incident which praise God was resolved "in time". However, I would like to share that I now have a Mirena. The first 5 years was great, I had it replaced in May 08 and I believe this second one is not agreeing with me. I bled for 5 months, have a very heavy feeling in the bottom on my stomach, lower back pain, & fatigue. My appt is Jan 29th to have it removed. ******

Hi there, I am amazed by the testimonials. I live in Canada and I think they're (the Dr.'s) are handing out Birth control and SSRI's like candy. I guess my anger is funnelled to the FDA and drug companies. I haven't met a Dr to date that when you have adverse reactions to such medications actually agree that it is the MEDICATION that's causing the side effects, I have not been told to stop taking birth control I was on Mirena IUD WORST thing ever, I asked my GP to remove it, he said he "didn't understand why I was experiencing such adverse effects, the mirena IUD has such a low dose of hormone" let me ask, how does yyour body know, when it has a foreign object that contains hormone "oh, I'm supposed to regulate and metabolize these 2.00 g of progesterone at .001/day"! now these are not the true measures, I'm simply making a point. YOu have something in your body it's all or nothing. I am only taking Yasmin NOTHING else, I thought I was having kidney failure, I can't believe I have not chalked it up to this BCP. I was diagnosed with endo, it was confirmed via laparoscopy approx. a year ago. They talked me into Mirena to "control" the endo, I finally got it out, they put me on the pill ortho-tri-cyclen, adverse effects, just stopped taking them, started to feel great, got prenant soon, but miscarried after 5 weeks, then bled for about 5 weeks. they put me on yasmin to control the bleeding did not work, put me back on ortho (it has a higher level of estrogen, which should stop the bleeding) that didn't work, they put me on ovarol which is even higher estrogen, that DID work the bleeding finally stopped, when I finished the pack, thay put me on Yasmin instead, nothing but problems; can't breathe, panicked, weight gain, bloating, no appetite then sudden strong appetite, extreme moodiness, irratibilty, uncontolable emotions. So the bleeding episode was undiagnosed and they just put me on the pill. Thank you.
