Birth control and blood clots?

Question

I just started the birth control (alesse) 2 weeks ago and I feel a tightness around my chest. It hurts to look down and up ,to to the side and to lift my arms above my head. I just read in the package that birth control can cause clots and if you feel a heaviness in the chest area it may be a clot in the lung.....

has anyone else experienced these symptoms? do you think I should be worried; its been about 4 days since I've had these symptoms?

Answer 1

yeah, go see your doctor

Answer 2

Stop taking them and go to the doctor as soon as you can. Clots are not something to mess around with.  

Answer 3

stop them and get to dr. asap to be safe. just seen sumpin on t.v about a 24 year old who was fine then 3 weeks later dead! she had a blood disorder which made her develop clots easier and the pills thru her over.

but stop them NOW! better safe than sorry
