Hi,

You need to get yourself reviewed for chest examination and EKG as well as echocardiogram. Chest X-ray may also be done. All this to exclude pulmonary embolism or any dangerous complication of pills should be done. Meanwhile recent hormonal profile may be needed to decide whether to change the medication or to increase or decrease the amount.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
