I stopped taking Yasmin about a week and a half ago. I assumed it was the cause of two anxiety attacks I had, constant lump/tightness, weird tingling feelings in my throat and chest and overall body aches and ill-feeling. I haven't felt anything severe since stopping except for a dizzy spell when my period came. I'm wondering if anyone has any idea as to how long these side effects could go away. Off and on, I still get a tightness/heaviness in my chest, and although I don't get a lump in my throat anymore, it's like a numbness and constriction in different places in my neck, and sometimes a clogged up feeling in my ears. A friend told me it takes three months for the pill to leave your system, and I have a Doctor appointment this Friday, but I'm just hoping to hear any advice/suggestions. I had an EKG, cat scan and chest x-ray and everything looks fine in my body. It's just really scary and hard to shake the worry that something worse may be wrong with me. Reassurance would be much appreciated!
