I was on Yasmin for 3 months (started in may) before stopping it cause I constantly had to pass gas or burp and would have a racing heart beat. The gas started right after I started it and then in July is when I developed the racing heart beat. I woke up one moring all weak and tired. I had to have a blood transfusion earlier this year and I felt exactly how I felt then (my hemoglobin was at 5.9). After about 4 days it got better. Execpt the gas and burping. I developed diarrhea and nausea too. My doctor put me on protonix and sent me to a GI. The GI thought it was gallbladder but my ultra sound came back normal and my hida scan came back that my gallbladder is working at 44%. I never had any of this before starting the yasmin. I have had an EKG and that came back normal and put me on a holter moniter just to make sure. It came back that when I 'recorded' and event that I had an extra beat during those times. The family doctor put me on a beta blocker just to calm my nerves a little bit. I usually get the faster heart beat when I am really gassy. My doctor said it is probably an irritated stomach. Sometimes I will have a weird taste in my mouth more like in my throat I guess, like when I bring air up from my stomach or whatever. It is hard to explain. Has anyone had anything like this? It is very scary not to know what is wrong with you.
