Yasmin Side Effects and Heart Attacks

Yasmin works by releasing active ingredients into the woman's system that are intended to prevent the processes of ovulation and egg fertilization from occurring.  These ingredients are basically hormones that include estrogen and progestin, and many researchers believe that the presence of one or both of these ingredients could be the cause of the development of Yasmin side effects.  While no definitive cause of Yasmin side effects has yet been identified, thousands of women have been harmed as a result of using the drug.

One of the most common Yasmin side effects is the tendency for women to suffer from heart attacks.  Clearly, heart attacks are dangerous situations, and while some heart attack occurrences provide those who suffer from them with some limited advanced warning by way of symptoms, others had no warning at all prior to suffering a heart attack.  Common symptoms that would indicate the onset of a heart attack include:

• Chest pains
• Shortness of breath
• Numbness in the limbs
• Dizziness

If you have been using Yasmin and you've experienced any of these symptoms, you need to seek immediate medical attention.
