I am short of breath . I have no fever.  I have no pain.   I try to fake yawn so I feel better, (like the satisfaction of a deep breath), but that does not seem to help.    * I am only 20 years old, and am other wise in good health.I started to take birth control about 6 weeks ago, and for the last week  I have felt this way.
Hi, Thanks for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities. Shortness of breath isn't a side effect we usually associate with contraceptive pills, as such I am sure the cause is something else. I recommend you see a doctor as soon as possible, after a X-ray of your lungs and listening to your breathing sounds using a stethoscope we may be able to diagnose the problem and then treat it accordingly. I hope this answered your question.
