Blood Clot

I was taking Tri-Sprintec from August until the beginning of December and was rushed to the emergency room because I couldn't breathe. I ended up having a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in my lung) and it was due to my birth control. I was extremely close to a stroke before I got to the hospital and was really lucky I too action. I'm not saying to not take Tri-Sprintec just make sure you are aware that this can happen to you also. They warned me like usual and I blew it off. If you ever notice shortness of breath when even walking a few steps or feel chest pain and back pain in the same spot, visit your doctor before it gets bad! It's horrible to go through. I was only 17 when it happened and have been on blood thinners for the past 3 years. I really had to change my life because of it. I was very active before and eventually had to give up all my sports and even had to quit working out for awhile because I was getting no oxygen into my lungs! Just a warning! Good luck!
