Patient's question:
I took the birth control pill yesterday afternoon, after which I experienced a headache, dizziness, nausea, and dry heaving. Today, I have chest tightness. What could be the reason for this? Gastroenterology consultation: Age and gender were not changed, female, 36 years old.Doctor's answer:
The most common side effects of contraceptive medication include nausea, dry heaving, dizziness, and other symptoms. Many people experience these symptoms quite noticeably. Take a closer look. These symptoms usually subside once the medication's effect wears off. If the symptoms are particularly severe, symptomatic anti-emetic treatment can be administered. Drinking more water helps with metabolism. In the future, it's best to take contraceptive medication less frequently and focus more on preventive measures. Pay attention to your personal hygiene habits during daily life.
