Common side effects

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic
Ut is common to have such a tired feeling and of menstrual irregularities while taking emergency pills.
So generally it is best to avoid them and reserve for sudden emergency like condom rupture or unavailability
All the best

Brief Answer:
Seems unrelated

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Usually there is no such symptoms after 2 months but still to be on the safer side do a urine pregnancy test and if that is negative then nothing to worry .
