Don't ignore this: You should get seen immediately. One of the possible side effects of any typical birth control pill is a deep vein thrombosis and/ or a pulmonary embolus. Your symptoms are possibly reflective of that problem.

Should see MD: Possibly from Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) ... But chest pain and fainting from any cause sounds serious and should be evaluated by your md ...
