I have been on Yasmin for over a year and a bit and I have recently started getting major head aches, eye pain, chest pain, and I have high blood pressure to top it all off. My mom has told me that she experienced the same thing when she was on the pill (I dunno what kind) when she was my age and had to start taking high blood pressure pills at the age of 20 I am 19 at the moment and it looks like I am following in her footsteps. My advise for everyone on this pill is to watch your symptoms and if you develop head aches that you think are caused by your eyes (gets worse while reading or watching tv) THINK again it might be from Yasmin! So be careful ladies and watch out and get your eyes checked and your blood pressure checked the moment you start feeling symptoms. Its for the best and I hope no one has to go through the pain I have been feeling for the past month. Also watch out for shortness of breathe and tightness in chest.

Your shortness of breath and chest pains could be symptoms of pulmonary emboli (blood clots in your lungs). Have you discussed this possibility with your doctor? Have you been checked for blood clotting? This is a serious side effect and I urge you to check it out. My daughter died in her third month on Yasmin from pulmonary emboli. Take care of your health.
