Hi Teresa,

If this continues, I would definetly see your doctor.

I have several friends that are on Yasmin, and I haven't heard anything bad about it. I can't see why BCP's of any kind would make your heart beat faster.

I would think that the Potassium test would be a cautionary thing, but I would definetly talk to your doctor about that too.

Hope this helps.
