Hello,
With the current symptoms, you should immediately see a physician to exclude cardiovascular complications. Combined oral contraceptives are known to lead to thrombo-embolic disorders. Apart from this, breast heaviness and tenderness are a common side effect of hormone use. Also, the way you have been using the pills is erratic and episodic use of higher doses instead of regular low dose contraception, can cause increased frequency of complications. Hope this helps.
