What Causes Shortness Of Breath?

I am feeling shortness of breath when talking on the phone (my job). Ive been a phone operator for 10 years and have never had this problem. I also have a bruis like paid above my right breast. I started Yaz birth control 2 months ago. I just wonder if it's from that? What else could it be?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of adverse effects from birth control pills is more in your case.
Birth control pills carry hormones. And these hormones can cause skin bruising, mood swings, depression, anxiety etc.
These psychological adverse effects can cause breathing difficulty while talking.
Other possibilities are bronchitis and heart diseases.
These pills also cause bronchitis and hypertension. But incidence is low. And it is seen after 1-2 years of use. So bronchitis and heart related side effects are less likely in your case.
Anxiety and other mood related side effects are likely causes first your breathing difficulty.
So you may need to change your pill. So consult your gynecologist and discuss about these side effects.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
