I am glad to have found this information after deciding to google Yasmin and heart palpitations. I started having palpitations last night (I had them years ago when I was having anxiety attacks but not since and I am not under any stress right now). I just started taking Yasmin less than two weeks ago and will not be taking it any more (I started it for PMDD). I have also noticed pain in my right breast and I was on the verge of a bladder infection a few days ago since I did not drink enough water for a few hours (I have only had one bladder infection in my life and that was after delivering my third child and having a catheter). I have also had blurred vision twice since I started it (I have experienced that before but very, very sporadically - not 2 episodes within days, I have migraines and my dr. thinks the blurred vision is somehow related). I had chest pain for 2 days, granted, it happened after a tough workout, but that is still unusual for me. I've always had pluses and minuses with any form of bcp, but these cons don't outweigh the pros (which I have not experienced yet anyway).

Your chest pains are a worrisome symptom. Have you been checked for blood clotting? There is a blood test called a dDimer that can test for blood clots anywhere in the body or your doctor can order scans to check. Blood clots are a known side effect of Yasmin and other birth control pills. They CAN be very serious. Blurred vision can also be a symptom of blood clots. I suggest that you Google DVT's and Pulmonary Emboli for a list of the symptoms. Please seek immediate medical care and INSIST on being tested. I post here to warn people because my daughter died of pulmonary emboli (blood clots in the lungs) in her third month on Yasmin.

Thank you for your concern and thoughtfulness. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Fortunately, I was only taking Yasmin for under 2 weeks. The chest pain and palpitations have subsided but I will get checked out. Thank you again.
