Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Your friends symptoms may be due to the birth control pills she is taking. Actually these pills are advantageous with few side effects . It includes,
Nausea & vomiting
Stomach upset
Spotting inbetween periods
Breast swelling or tenderness
weight gain
Mood changes
headaches and migraine.

Usually, these side effects will reduce within few months of taking tablets. I suggest,
1. To have plain foods & avoid fried items
2. Take plenty of liquid
3. Have short meals in short breaks
If still persists, consult your near by gynaecologist for help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
