Hot/cold Flushes, Headaches, Stomach Bloating. Gone Off The Pill. What Should Be Done?
Hi there, I hope you can help tell me what illness I may have from the symptoms that I give you. On Friday night I started to get really bad hot/cold flushes, extremely bad headaches and a really painful stomach/bloating. I haven't been able to eat much but fruit and an ice block. I have just gone off the pill 1 week ago from being on it for 21/2 years and got my natural period 3 days later.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As symptoms started on Friday night as hot& cold flushes, headache bloating, pain in stomach.
In my point of view these symptoms may be due to the food , ate previous 4-5 hours before .
As you stated that you were off from pill from last seven days , so mild effects of withdrawal may be.
Overeating is one more reason of such type of symptoms.
In my opinion if symptoms persists than get a treatment , otherwise no need.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
