I am 39 and have been taking YAZ for about 3 months. I work out daily, drink lots of water and try and stay away from fatty foods. A couple of weeks ago, I started having severe leg cramps in my right calf. I have also had some pain in my left leg. Both calves seem to be swollen a little. The only reason I know this is because tall boots that used to fit my legs, don't fit now. I've also experienced slight shortness of breath, infrequent chest pain and pain in between my shoulder blades. I have also had some gastrointestinal problems as well.

After some research, I've decided to take myself off YAZ. I was taking it to reduce the chances of developing cysts on my ovaries.

Could YAZ be the underlying cause of my leg cramps? Any insight to this would be helpful.

Thanks.
