Why Am I Having Low Blood Pressure With Sore Head?

I am on cerazette, recently back ftom flying twice in two days&feel hot, cold, light headed, hav a sore head&feel faint! Im not sure if the pill is to blame as i felt this way the last time i flew with work, i saw a docyor&they said there was a faint feeling bug going around.

Hello Ma'am

After going through the details provided by you i would like to tell you that there are two three things in your case that could make you feel this way. First of all if you are flying to a region that have a time difference from your place you might have JET LAG which basically alters our CIRCADIAN RHYTHM and make us feel dizzy. Second is the pill you are taking as its "Desogestrel" which is a hormone and it can be the cause of your HOT and COLD feeling.

YES your heart rate is within normal limits but SYSTOLIC BP is slightly on lower side. what you can do to improve this is take an extra pinch of SALT in your diet and a cup of Coffee. If your feelings are due to low BP this will help improve your symptoms.

After all this if you still feel the same then consult a doc in person so as to get a proper examination and some basics tests done.

Good Luck
