I heard this story about a young girl on the combined pill who was getting breathlessness on and off... Then one day she suddenly died, and at post-mortem they found she'd had a DVT and had been breaking off small clots which travelled to her lung, then the whole clot shifted to her lungs and she died suddenly from that. I have been thinking about it way too much over the last couple of days. One of the symptoms of my anxiety can be breathlessness. And I am on the combined pill, have been for quite a few years now. It's hard to try and convince myself that I'm not at risk of popping my clogs from a lung clot any time soon!!! Help :-(
