hi all, quest 36376, i am not sure what the verification email thing is all about,please try to register again it may just be a glitch,i will look into it for you. i think some of the ladies have gone straight onto other pills but not sure which. i had an email from a lady the other day saying that she was put onto a high dose pill after yasmin as her Dr said yasmin had messed up her system by dropping her hormones too low.she said she felt fantastic on the older higher dose pill. may be something to research??? guest 36377, i have no medical training at all just my own personal experience. i only had an ecg,my docotr agreed to do it after much pestering,i was sat at my pc one day when i felt really light headed and my vision went,my heart started to race then flop about in my chest like jelly,i seriously thought i was about to die! the nurse rigged up my ecg and she saw something (to this day i have no idea what) and she went to get my Gp who took a look at the tracing and just said it was just anxiety nothing to worry about and he sent me on my way. i find the flopping sensation and the palpitations are worse when i am tired or if i eat anything really sweet or if i have to many carbs. the chest pain comes along a day or 2 before my period and feels almost like i have been punched or have a cracked rib,sometimes i cannot get a full breath if that makes sense. i take a daily supplemet of magnesium,vitamin b6,b12 and zinc as well as calcium. calcium can be very good for the heart and muscles. i had chest pain when i was on yasmin,it was a stabbing sensation,now it is just a dull ache a couple of days a month. i have been off yasmin for 8 months. hope that helps a little. please try not to worry too much, i know it is scary but stress will make your heart beat more irregular. guest 36378. thank-you so much for your kind words,i hope that the new forum will be of great help to all ladies who want to post there and share their experience. we are yasmin survivors because we are looking for answers and we are fighting back! best wishes to you all. sarah
