Noticed Cough And Chest Tightness After Taking Microgynon. Having Pain In Lower Belly. Chest Infection? Side Effects Of Medicine?

Posted on Tue, 25 Jun 2013

Question: Hi!
I have recently started taking Microgynon (i'm on day 19) and I have noticed that I have a bit of a cough and my chest feels a it tight. I though that it might be a chest infection but I have had the cough for over a week and it isn't the kind of cough that I would normally have with a chest infection. I have also started noticing pains in my lower belly - not like normal stomach cramps a bit sharper. Could any f this be a side effect of taking the tablets?

Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Some of those complaints that you are giving could be because of the pill. Please contact your doctor for a physical examination and if required a change of the pill.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
