Seasonale report #SELF-2437
Female patient reported the following Seasonale side effect(s):Farigue, shortness of breath, vomiting blood clots, severe middle back pain
I had cosmetic surgery on 12-29-08 and within a couple of days I was having a hard time breathing and was extremely tired. I started to throw up blood clots. I called the doctor and they thought it was from being intibated during surgery. I ended up going to the ER and they did not catch it. A couple of days later I went to my primary doctor who sent me to a Pulmonary Specialist and he ordered a cat scan that showed the embolis. I was immediately admitted to ICU and stayed in the hospital for 6 days.
