Birth control and blood clots?


I just started the birth control (alesse) 2 weeks ago and I feel a tightness around my chest. It hurts to look down and up ,to to the side and to lift up my arms above my head. I just read contained by the package that birth control can cause clots and if you consistency a heaviness in the chest nouns it may be a clot in the lung..
has anyone else experienced these symptoms? do you have a sneaking suspicion that I should be worried; its been about 4 days since I've have these symptoms?

Answers:    stop them and get to dr. asap to be safe. of late seen sumpin on t.v about a 24 year hoary who was fine then 3 weeks following dead! she had a blood disorder which made her develop clots easier and the pills thru her over.
but stop them NOW! better not detrimental than sorry.
Stop taking them and go to the doctor as soon as you can. Clots are not something to mess around with. yeah, be in motion see your doctor
