I am 23 years old and have been on Yasmin for approx 9 months now...at first I experienced the most horrific migraine - I felt as if my head was literally exploding. I informed my doctor who just instructed the nurse to check my blood pressure regularly. The readings were fine and I didn't have that side effect again. This past week though I have been uncontrollably tired..going to visit family etc and heading straight for the bedroom to sleep. I thought perhaps i've just been working too hard. Then I woke up with swollen, itchy eyes and a rash on my eyelids which i put down to the weather. A few nights ago I started having chest pains. Every time I took a breath I could feel it deep in my lungs and it was so painful. It felt like my chest was tightening and I couldn't breathe. This morning I am still in pain and it hurts when I breathe - I thought perhaps I was developing asthma! I decided to check the internet for my symptoms and came across this site...now I am stopping this Yasmin immediately. I probably should have been more weary after my migraine experience but the doctor made me feel as if it was all okay and not directly linked to Yasmin. I was only put on Yasmin to help with my irregular, heavy and extremely painful periods, but for me it is not worth it at all. Thank you to all for sharing as it has helped me to identify what is causing me problems.
