heart attack from birth control pill

I'm 22 and very healthy. I Don't drink, smoke or use any type of recreational drugs. I had a heart attack from my birth control pills. I have a bunch of medical expenses that i really can't afford to pay not even including the ongoing care i have to continue with. I Was wandering would it be worth trying to get a settlement from the company to cover these expenses for the past, present, and the future.
