pills and blood clot Posted: 05-10-08 19:51pm


I was wondering if taking nine active pills of Yaz could cause a blood clot. On the ninth day of it, (this was in the middle of March), I got a cool feeling in my chest and an annoying pang in my shoulder. I was already a bit iffy about being on BC, so I decided to stop. Since then, I have had some five minute or so periods where breathing seems more difficult, and have had two cases of a deep throbbing pain in my upper left thigh. Oh, and one 5-10 minute time of heart/chest pains. The last time I saw my doctor was after stopping BC, and she didn't seem too concerned by the chest weirdness. So, in short, can nine active pills have given me a blood clot/should I be concerned? Thank you. Edit: For the record, I am an 18 y/o in pretty good shape and am a non-smoker.

Unlikely, but yes, it is possible. If you experience ANY of these symptoms, tell your doc immediately: ACHES warning signs: If you have any of these warning signs well on birth control, get to a doctor asap. Especially the leg pain one (that's what my doc said) These are signs of blood clots and stroke. # Abdominal pain # Chest pain (also shortness of breath) # Headaches (especially those that are new, severe, or associated with persistent dizziness, difficulty speaking, fainting,numbness or weakness in extremities # Eye problems (blurred vision or loss of vision) # Severe leg pain (and/or redness and swelling in the calf or thigh) If you develop any of the ACHES side effects or jaundice (a yellowing of the eyes or skin) while on BCPs, call your doctor right away. If you need emergency medical attention, call the hospital. If you are out of town, contact a local health provider or go to a hospital emergency room.
