Yaz Heart Attack

Of the serious side effects that have been linked to the prescription birth control drug Yaz, heart attacks are among the worst, if not the most dangerous and deadliest. No prescription drug goes without its side effects, and Yaz is no different, requiring prescribed users to maintain a healthy lifestyle while taking this or similar contraceptive medications. Each woman taking Yaz for birth control, premenstrual, or mild acne purposes will experience different side effects, however with the possibility of something as severe as a heart attack it is with the utmost urgency that women taking Yaz treat symptom detection with immediacy and concern.

Women using the prescription birth control medication Yaz or similar contraceptive medications can expect the following symptoms in association with a heart attack:

• Chest and abdominal pain

• Loss of balance, dizziness

• Numbness or loss of feeling in the arms

• Weakness in the arms or legs

• Heartburn

• Mild to severe fever with subsequent sweating

• Dizziness, loss of equilibrium

• Fainting

• Constricted chest, difficulty breathing

• Stomach pains, nausea, vomiting

• Sudden loss of energy, exhaustion

• Sharp pains in the face and upper body

Upon experiencing these symptoms, any woman should immediately seek professional medical treatment or consult her physician for further assistance or diagnosis. Women who are using Yaz or related medications should seek emergency medical treatment, as any of these symptoms could just be side effects of the birth control medication in themselves, however one or more symptoms occurring concurrently is indicative of a more serious problem.

When it comes to the use of prescription medications and their side effects, much of it weighs on the medical history of the user. For women who are using Yaz, Yasmin, Ocella, or other similar birth control medications, factors like age, weight, and use of substances like tobacco and alcohol can play an important role. In the case of a heart attack, women using Yaz or related drugs should keep the following factors in mind:

• High blood pressure

• Previous heart attacks

• Heart disease

• Alcoholism

• Obesity

• Smoking

• Menopausal

• Diabetes

• Depression

When dealing with a heart attack, a woman using Yaz or similar birth control medications should view any symptoms as an indicator of a greater health issue, however when coupled with the prior existence of these health issues, it should be more than evident that emergency medical treatment is necessary. A heart attack is a very serious matter, one that can ultimately result in death if not treated in a timely and adequate manner. Women who are using Yaz or related contraceptive drugs should maintain a healthy lifestyle at all times and eliminate any habits or behaviors that could boost the chances of a heart attack.

If you believe that the use of Yaz, Yasmin, or a similar prescription birth control drug are responsible for a heart attack suffered by yourself or a loved one, it is your obligation to seek out consultation about your options for compensation and further legal action. You have the right to receive compensation for medical treatment expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, further physician appointments and treatment, as well as for any pain and suffering experienced by you or your family.
