I started on Microgestin and after 5 days had left shoulder and arm aches, severe anxiety, and blood pressure of 145/88. My blood pressure is always around 117/70 so I was quite alarmed. Stopped meds and things seemed better after about 4 days off them. Told my doctor's nurse. She told the dr. He switched me to Le Loestrin Fe... has half the estrogen as Microgestin. After 5 days, the symptoms came back. I stopped taking them and am waiting for the symptoms to subside.
Anyone had this happen to you? I'm quite anxious that this could be something serious, however after just 5 days on the pill I'd hope it was just side effects.
Thanks!!!

Also, just to add this, I had a cardiac stress test within the last year to establish a baseline since I have family history of heart disease. It showed no abnormalities.
