I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen Low to regulate and help my period and also prevent pregnancy. Before i started taking it, and even when I continued to take it, I was bleeding 2-3 weeks a month and usually for the first few days of it it was a dark brown discharge. A month into it or so i started feeling plenty of symptoms. numbness of legs and arms, shortness of breath, chest pain, headaches, nausea and fatigue. I went to family planning when i was on my third pack and they told me to instantly stop taking my birth control and see a doctor as soon as possible. I did, they found out I cant take in any more estrogen then my body already has so they want to start me on a ‘mini-pill’ thats just progestin, they said if I stayed on estrogen birth control I would have more then likely died from a heart attack, and they were speaking of POS (polycistic ovarian syndrome) so I have to get an ultra sound next month to look at my uterus lining and they also took some blood. That was only this past tuesday. I also had a Bacterial Vaginosis so they put me on some medication called Metronidazole. This past week ive been expieriencing the heart/chest pains more frequently and more powerful. It feels as though someone is sitting on my chest and I cant take a full deep breath in, i feel sharp pains on the upper right part of my chest through the day, but the deep breath problem stays all day. My legs and arms randomly start tingleling and then they instantly become numb. My lips even went numb this morning and started to twitch and unintentionally purse up. This scares me, Ive hear blood clots from my birth control, Ive heard an inflamed muscle by the rib cage, ive heard severe panic attack and ive heard heart murmur..should I go to the ER and get checked? or am I stable enough to wait until monday when doctor office’s are more open? What do you think it could be?

if i were you i would be very worried about a pulmonary embolism ( blood clot in the lung). i would go to the emergency room stat
Just go to the ER and let a doctor tell you everything’s ok. It sounds more like a panic attack than anything else but go to the hospital and be safe.
God bless.
