I too am glad to find this posting. I started taking yasmin to control heavy menstrual cycles. Everything went well until I got to the inert pills in the first pack. I took the pills at night just before going to bed. About two hours after taking the third inert pill I woke up thinking I was having a heart attack!

I have gone through three weeks of thinking I was falling apart. Panic attacks, shortness of breath, acid reflux, heart racing, spacey(can't remember things, feeling really strange)
headaches. nausea, flu like weakness and pain, pain in the neck, chest and left arm. I have been off the pill for three weeks and the symptoms are subsiding but I'm still having problems. My OB still thinks it's all in my head. Sorry, after reading about all the others experiencing the same things, I'm convinced it's the Yasmin.
