A member asked:
I breathe heavily my chest also hurts. can this be because of the birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally, no: Shortness of breath and chest pain that is sudden and accompanied by unexplained anxiety may suggest a blood clot with pulmonary embolism associated as a rare finding with the oral contraceptive. However, in this case, no. If you have any doubts see a MD as soon as possible.
