Yaz Birth Control, Could I Be Having A Stroke?? Help!!?
Monday
Dec 7, 2009
Okay so. I was on Yaz birth control pills for a little over a year (I stopped taking them about a month ago.) I know about the big lawsuit they’re in and how so many young girls have suffered from strokes and blood clots from taking yaz. Well recently I’ve been having a few symptoms of a stroke. Like my left arm (especially at night) is super weak to the point that I can’t even pick up anything because my grip isn’t strong enough. And I’ve been having extreme chest pains and my jaw on the right side has been hurting me constantly. I’ve read that all these could be symtoms of a stroke or heart attack and considering I had been taking yaz (plus I smoke..i know i know) I had been super worried about it.
Do you think this is all in my head? Could these symptoms not be linked at all? And if I was having a stroke or heart attack, wouldn’t I have already known by now or can it take several days or weeks?
Please please help. I’m seriously worried about it.
Could Aspirin Have Caused This Type Of Reaction?

Around 3 I took some Dollar General brand head ache relief. It said on the front that it contains caffeine,acetaminophen, and asprin. About an hour later I began experiencing symtoms of a panic attack (heart racing,short-ness of breath,couldn’t sit still,etc) I kept feeling this until I finally went to sleep around 9:30 and I just woke up about 15 minutes ago. I feel a little better but my heart still feels like its racing a little bit, and on top of that my headache is worse. Think I’m sensitive to caffeine or the aspirin?
Could These Be Heart Attack Symptoms In A Female?

I just experienced these very weird feelings tonight while on here and for the first time 2 days ago. I am a bit concerned they could be early warnings of a stroke/ heart attack. I am over 35 and do smoke and take the pill. I am not over weight, have low cholesterol, BP, etc and my GP says a low dose estrogen pill for me is okay.
Here are the symptoms- I know in women they can be different than men. It starts with intense and sudden pain on the bones of both jaws and then is followed by a tightness in my forehead and then a crushing pain in an oval right above my breasts in the center of my chest. Along with that, I am just awash with a general ill feeling and then after about 10-15 minutes it passes. I will ask my GP Monday about this but do any of you know if these could be warning signs.? Thanks
