Is it normal to have chest pain after taking birth control pills?

Nowadays, people often feel chest tightness, weak qi and blood, and shortness of breath from time to time. Such situations are usually very simple to deal with. The first thing is to find the cause of the disease. Some people suspect that it may be related to taking birth control pills. Birth control pills do cause side effects, but they will not cause chest pain. Chest pain actually has other factors.

I feel chest tightness from time to time and sometimes shortness of breath. What's going on?

1. Physiological factors: Women’s reproductive systems, including the ovaries, begin to mature from puberty, secreting large amounts of estrogen, which triggers monthly menstruation and the formation of obvious female characteristics. Chest tightness and shortness of breath are closely related to the level of sex hormone secretion. The estrogen secretion in young women is more vigorous, the subcutaneous fat thickens, and the oxygen consumption of adipose tissue is greater than that of muscle tissue, so young women will suffer from insufficient oxygen supply to the human body and experience chest tightness and shortness of breath.

2. Psychological factors: mainly caused by unpleasant emotions such as depression and bad mood. Girls tend to be sensitive in emotions. When they encounter unpleasant things, they tend to sulk and feel unhappy, which often makes them feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. According to psychologists, chest tightness and shortness of breath caused by this reason is the most common. It seems that we have to be open-minded about everything; don't be too picky.

3. Autonomic dysfunction:

It often occurs in female adolescence. Some girls aged 16 or 17 often complain of chest tightness and shortness of breath, which is mostly caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Women who experience chest tightness and shortness of breath generally do not need treatment if no organic lesions are found after examination at the hospital. Keep a good mood, be happy and optimistic, strengthen physical exercise, and be calm, and you will naturally be healthy.

4. Staying in a poorly ventilated room for a long time, or encountering some unpleasant things, or even quarreling or arguing with others, or being in a climate with low air pressure, often causes a feeling of chest tightness and fatigue. After a short rest, opening windows for ventilation or going outside to breathe fresh air, relaxing your mind and regulating your emotions, you will soon return to normal. Chest tightness like this may be functional.
