Brief Answer:
GIVE YOURSELF A FEW MORE DAYS TO ADJUST.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
You cannot switch pills midcycle.
If you wish to switch to Diane, you need to start a fresh pack after your period.
Give yourself a few more days to adjust to XXXXXXX
Just 4 days is too less.
Give yourself a week more.
The symptoms would improve.
Regarding the blood in the sputum, shortness of breath, please have a physician's opinion regarding that as it is not a common or trivial side effect.
If all the pills are making you so morbid, you need to stop taking them.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
