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.
