Yaz Blood Clot

When the body experiences an injury such as a cut or a laceration, a blood clot will occur to seal off the wound and begin the healing process. However, in some cases blood clots can be very dangerous. One of those cases is reported to occur in women who are using Yaz or similar prescription birth control medication. A blood clot, or thrombus, can be quite dangerous to healthy veins and arteries.

A blood clot can form within the bloodstream unexpectedly, in both healthy and unhealthy victims, and can float through the blood undetected. But once that blood clot finds its way into a healthy vein or artery there can be significant consequences, including eventual death. The only way to be prepared for a blood clot is to be aware of the symptoms and preventative measures. Common symptoms of a blood clot include:

• Tenderness

• Skin discoloration, redness

• Inflammation, swelling

• Thick, visible veins

• Sharp pains coming in waves

• Lingering aches varying in intensity based on movement

• Warm feeling in the region of clotting

Blood clots can occur in any area of the body and will produce different symptoms in each area of the body. For instance, the aforementioned symptoms are common for all blood clots, but are mainly relegated to blood clots that occur in the legs, which are the most common part of the body for blood clot occurrence.

When occurring in the lungs, blood clots can be detected by a sharp chest pain, respiratory difficulty, and an increased heart rate. In the arms, a blood clot will cause sudden pain, discoloration of the area surrounding the vein or artery, and significant swelling. Blood clots in the brain will cause problems with vision, speech and communication miscomprehension, and seizures. A blood clot in the heart will almost certainly cause a heart attack, with a prelude of chest pains. Blood clots that occur within the stomach or abdomen will be notable by intense stomach pain, as well as nausea and vomiting.

If you believe that the use of Yaz, Yasmin, or a similar prescription birth control drug are responsible for blood clots suffered by yourself or a loved one, it is your obligation to seek out consultation about your options for compensation and further legal action. You have the right to receive compensation for medical treatment expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, further physician appointments and treatment, as well as for any pain and suffering experienced by you or your family. Users of Yaz and similar prescription birth control medication who have experienced serious side effects, including blood clots, can receive consultation at no cost from the Newsome Law Firm to help examine all of their options to ensure their best interests are met.
