Can the p.o pill give you chest pain, I have been on then for 5 weeks now I but I have experiencing spotting at the moment, and constant period like cramps, I woke with chest pain this morning, its copeable, its like indigestion, but I m still wondering why I have this?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion it is HERD (Castro Esophageal Reflux Disease) only. But as rule any kind of chest pain should be evaluated for cardiac cause. So better to get done ECG first to rule out cardiac cause. If this is normal than it is HERD only. Progesterone only pill can cause this. GERD is due to laxity of the gastroesophageal sphincter. Due to this acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. So I advise you to take proton pump inhibitors prior to progesterone pill. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals. Avoid stress and tension.
