An increased incidence of heart attacks is one of the more serious side effects of using the Yaz and Yasmin contraceptive drugs. Of course, this has led to a large number Yaz lawsuits filed by aggrieved parties. Yaz and Yasmin birth control drugs can lead to excess potassium in the blood because they contain the progestin “drospirenone”. In women who have taken Yaz birth control, this significant Yaz side effect may cause heart attacks, stroke, and even death. The increased potassium levels may easily go completely undetected and untreated because they commonly don’t have noticeable symptoms, and as a result may substantially increase the risk to women using the Yaz and Yasmin birth control products.
The importance of understanding the symptoms of a Yaz heart attack
It’s critically important that women who use Yaz and Yasmin birth control learn to recognize the symptoms of heart attacks (and also of the risk factors for developing a heart attack in the first place) so that they may know to seek immediate emergency medical care in the event of a Yaz and Yasmin-induced heart attack. And, perhaps most importantly, understanding will help them make an intelligent decision about finding an alternate birth control method. This is especially important if there’s a family history of heart problems, or they’re otherwise at high risk of developing heart trouble.
Recognize the symptoms of a Yaz heart attack
If women who use the Yaz and Yasmin contraceptive products exhibit any of the following symptoms, they may be developing a Yaz heart attack and should seek emergency medical help immediately. Symptoms include; abdominal pain, heartburn, chest pain or chest pressure, discomfort or pain in the neck, jaw, shoulder or upper back, dizziness, faintness or lightheadedness, feelings of extreme anxiety or nervousness, inexplicable fatigue or weakness, nausea or vomiting, shortness of breath, or excessive sweating. If these symptoms occur, call 911 immediately.
Increased risk factors for Yaz-related heart attacks
As with any drug, some women with additional risk factors will be in greater danger than others of developing a Yaz-related heart attack. Women with the highest risk include those who have the following aspects in their medical history: a previous heart attack or any heart disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, depression, menopause (or low levels of estrogen), metabolic syndrome (a condition whose symptoms include abdominal fat and high blood sugar), or unhealthy lifestyle habits that include diets high in fat, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and not exercising regularly.
What to do in case of a Yaz heart attack
If you believe you are having a heart attack, you must get medical care immediately to save your life! Call 911, go to the hospital, and call your doctor. Afterwards, exactly adhere to your follow-up recommendations, including all lifestyle changes, prescriptions, and treatments so that you may restore your good health, and lower the possibility of future heart-related issues.
Innocent young women all over the country continue to be exposed to these perilous, even life-threatening adverse side effects of taking Yaz and Yasmin contraceptive drugs. How many more women who put their trust in these birth control products will get desperately sick?
