Side effects from the pill are varied and different for everyone. That is why when you are on the pill you get your blood pressure, breasts etc checked every six months. There is a criteria for prescribing the pill, so don't worry too much as if there is any risk at all to your health you will not be prescribed it. And remember millions of women all over the world take it every day with no ill effects.
There are many, but most don't occur commonly. You can find a complete list in the product pamphlet. However, some types of pill will cause some side effects, and others will cayuse none, for different women. It's all about finding the right pill. The one I have been on for many years has caused me nothing but good side effects.
You should ask your doctor - i wouldn't rely on advice given here for something as important as your health.
