Shortness of Breath/Difficulty Breathing on Yaz

Hi. I've been experiencing shortness of breath for the last 3 years now. I can't work out like I used to. I've gained 60 pounds- which might be a combo of not being able to work out + hormones. I've always had asthma but it hasn't been an issue since I was a kid. I have a lump in my throat and feel like I have bronchitis every day. I cough and sneeze constantly. Doctors found nothing wrong with me. X-rays showed nothing. I hope to God that it's the YAZ and I can breathe again. That being said, it did help my acne tremendously. but I'd rather be able to breathe than have clear skin. I have yet to test this theory, so there's a chance it's not the YAZ making me sick... but it sounds like it has a good chance of being the issue.

I have the same prob,i think its because of the yaz hormones

After only one month on Yasmin I experienced shortness of breathe and chest pains, which were totally unknown to me. It felt like I had pneumonia.
This really scared the heck out of me. I also found it very difficult to exercise because I couldn’t catch my breath. I also gained weight, had very dry and itchy skin and I had this painful rash on my face. And my blood pressure went up also, which has never happened before. I talked to my GP and he adviced me to come off the pill all together for a while. Before Yasmin I was on Dianette for 9 years. At first Dianette was very effective. My acne vanished but over the years Dianette made me very ill. I had these terrible mood swings, headaches, flew like symptoms, sores in my mouth, itchy skin. I also gained a lot of weight and found it very difficult to lose the weight. I think that Diannefte and Yasmin missed up my immune system and as a result I’m now diagnosed with Sjogren, an autoimmune disease. So be very careful.

Hello ladies. I too have just done a Google search "Shortness of breath on Yaz" and I cannot believe this evil pill is still on the market. I was having horrible shortness of breath, chest pains and I even collapsed. I thought I was having a heart attack at one stage. I knew something wasn't right so I just stopped taking Yaz. I'd rather have bad periods and a bit of acne over feeling absolutely horrible all the time. Please if you're reading this, look into alternatives xx

Just went under a cold shower with my clothes on coz i couldn't catch my breath honestly thought it was a stroke/heart attack felt weak and dizzy Today was my last tablet never again!

Don't take yaz! I have been on it for just over a week and get very dizzy, my boobs have grown but with lots of pain and I have been experiencing night blindness.
