birth control pill side effects

I took an Ortho Tri-Cyclen birth control pill this morning & have been experiencing accelerated heart rate, difficulty breathing and numbness of the limbs.  What do these symptoms indicate & what steps should I take?

Hello, how are you feeling now. What you described sounds to me like an allergic reaction to the drug/hormones, I would get into the ER as soon as possible if this continues.

I take Ortho Tri-cyclen and I have never experienced those effects at all.  Are you on any other meds?
