Yaz Heart Attack Side Effects

If you have not yet heard the news regarding the birth control pill, Yaz, and the potential serious side effects that have been associated with it, it is time that you know. Whether you have taken Yaz or you are planning to take Yaz in the future, it is good to know what is happening with this birth control pill in the pharmaceutical world.

So far, a number of side effects have been associated with Yaz and they are serious. For instance, such side effects as blood clots have been known to cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT can then lead to a pulmonary embolism (PE) if DVT is left untreated and the blood clot travels to and blocks an artery in the lungs.

Although these conditions do not happen to everyone, healthy individuals have been found to develop a number of health issues. For instance, you may find yourself eventually dealing with Yaz heart attack side effects. Although heart attack survival is relatively high, there are times in which it can result in instant death. If you would experience a heart attack as a result of taking Yaz, you will have complications with your heart indefinitely.

As for how Yaz can cause heart attack, the chemical drospirenone raises a woman’s blood potassium level. When this occurs, the salt and the water within the body become unbalanced. This, in turn, causes heart and circulatory issues and can cause a woman to fall victim to a heart attack.

And just so you know the symptoms of a heart attack in case you find yourself dealing with one of the Yaz heart attack side effects, here they are:

• Tightness in the chest
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Pain shooting into your arm, neck, jaw, or head

If you experience one or more of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. If you take Yaz, you will want to try to determine if Yaz is the cause. If it is, you may wish to seek the assistance of a lawyer.

As for any recalls on the product, there have been none. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has so far clamped down on the Bayer Corporation for their misleading advertising campaigns. Currently, Yaz is the highest selling birth control method on the market, but many of the side effects were not disclosed, such as Yaz heart attack side effects. As it stands, these side effects and the potential conditions that can result are still not being disclosed to the public. If you were to purchase a package of Yaz today, you would not find much of the information that is important for you to know.

For those who already have heart problems, diabetes, and a number of other conditions, they are at a higher risk of developing a severe condition while using Yaz. Women over 35 and who smoke are also at a higher risk, which the documentation that accompanies Yaz does state that those women fitting that specific criteria are at a higher risk of blood clots, which can lead to such conditions as DVT, PE, and heart attack.
