What Causes Dizziness And Headaches Post Birth Control Pill Withdrawal?

Fibromyalgia causing symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I have read you query and I understand your concerns about the symptoms after stopping pills .
Following is my reply:
1) As we discussed earlier, this seems to be exaggeration of fibromyalgia.
2) Since main reason for fibromyalgia being possible alteration of hormonal levels, it is possible that your earlier birth control pills had suppressed the symptoms.
3) Withdrawal of pills has lead to exaggeration of fibromyalgia which has been worsened by stopping of regular birth control pills it was used to.
4) Your attached reports are fine and dont warrant worry.
5) There is need to work more on fibromyalgia with your doctor and take medicines accordingly. As of now it has nothing to do with pills.
I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.
Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.
Regards,
Dr. Soumya


Please get an ECG from your physician
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is possible to have missed something. Please get an ECG done if there is something wrong with heart as symptoms you describe are also seen when there is heart disease.
See your physician soon.

ECG
Detailed Answer:
Hi
ECG stands for electrocardiogram. This is a simple test done in doctor's office which identifies if there is heart attack or any problem with parts of heart like heart valve.
Such heart diseases also have such breathing difficulty and dizziness. So please see a doctor for ECG soon.

You have dizziness along with breathing difficulty and chest pain which is more like heart related conditions though fibromyalgia can cause it.
Better get an ECG


Not a cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You dont have cancer. This is a cardiorespiratory priblem most likely which needs to be evaluated.

Needs examination
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is unlikely to be cancer. Cancer presents with a mass and not a tender spot you describe.
I suggest you get examined by a doctor for tender spot and also get ECG done so that issie is resolved directly.
Let me know if you have any more concerns.
Regards


Breathlessness is a concern
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Fibromyalgia does not present with breathlessness you described.
It is possible that heart element present earlier might have been missed and needs re examination by ECG though it was done earlier.
Therefore I insist on examination by doctor and ECG.
This is not cancer.
Regards

Fibromyalgia as well as hormones cause burning sensation in body. This is by different mechanism.
They do cause burning.

Fibromyalgia
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This should not last so long. The pills could have suppressed fibromyalgia and it has increased now after stopping it.
This is the reason I initially said this is more to do with fibromyalgia than stopping pills alone.
