What Causes Dizziness And Shortness Of Breath During BH Contractions During Pregnancy?
I am 32 weeks pregnant, was just seen at the doctor yesterday. I had a slightly high BP. I am having regular, timed, BH contractions. I forgot to ask the doctor this question, when I am having the contraction I am getting dizzy and short of breath. They are lasting about 45 seconds, and non painful.

Hallow Dear,
If you are a patient of high blood pressure, and now you are suffering for the dizziness and breathlessness, you are not a suitable candidate for birth control pills. The hormones in the pills can cause these side effects. Moreover, they may get worst due to this hormones threatening your health.
So please switch over to some other safe birth control method like condom or intrauterine birth control device (without any hormones in it).
I hope this helps you.
