I started taking Yaz about 8 weeks ago. Two weeks into my pill pack, I started experiencing shortness of breath. I went to my Internist who did an EKG, Echo-cardiogram, chest x-ray and blood work. Nothing looked suspicious. The incident happened shortly after I started taking a diurectic prescribed by an otologist for an inner-ear problem. I stopped taking the diurectic, thinking the diurectic was the problem. BUT, the shortness of breath has continued periodically. Then, I accidentally missed one day os Yaz and took two in one day. Later that day I was very short of breath. I began to be suspicious that the combination of BCP, the diurectic and the fact that I take ibuprophen regularly has caused this problem. The drug's website says that you shouldn't take that combination of drugs. BUT, all of my doctors (Internist, otologist and Gyn) have said it's OK.
Has anybody else had this problem? I called the Gyn's office and they didn't know what to make of it, as they said nobody had reported such a problem. But, they told me to stop taking it and come see the Gyn in 2 weeks to discuss how I was feeling and other bcp options.
Thanks for your help.
