Is it normal if I have chest discomfort with chest pain when I’m on medication with hormone pills (desogestrel 150 mg) and sometimes I feel shortness of breath too

Hello, and thank you for contacting us
We understand your worries especially with the development of symptoms such as chest pain
Common side effects of desogestrel may include menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, and mood changes (e.g., depression), as well as weight gain, acne, and hirsutism. However, it has also been reported to not adversely affect weight.
Don’t wait until you get the symptom. Take care of your heart starting NOW.
