Accepted Answer

If you get your period before completing the 21 days of Althea pills, continue taking the pills as prescribed until you finish the full 21 days. There's no need to stop the pills for 7 days; just complete the pack and start the next one on time. Always check with your doctor for personalized advice.

Possible Causes*

1. *Vestibular disorders*: Inner ear problems, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), labyrinthitis, or vestibular migraine, can cause dizziness, giddiness, and falling sensations.
2. *Anxiety and panic disorders*: Severe anxiety and panic attacks can manifest physically, leading to symptoms like dizziness, stomach discomfort, and a feeling of being pushed.
3. *Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)*: This condition causes a rapid heart rate and other symptoms, including dizziness and lightheadedness, when standing upright.
4. *Neurological conditions*: Certain conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, or Parkinson's disease, can cause balance problems, dizziness, and falling sensations.

*Next Steps*

1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a specialist (e.g., neurologist, ENT specialist, or cardiologist) to discuss your symptoms.
2. *Undergo diagnostic tests*: Your doctor may recommend tests, such as:
    - Vestibular function tests (e.g., electronystagmography or videonystagmography)
    - Balance and equilibrium assessments
    - Imaging studies (e.g., MRI or CT scans)
    - Blood tests to rule out underlying conditions
3. *Address anxiety and panic*: Consider seeking help from a mental health professional to manage your anxiety and panic symptoms.
4. *Lifestyle modifications*: In the meantime, try to:
    - Avoid triggers that exacerbate your symptoms
    - Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga
    - Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet
    - Avoid standing for long periods or changing positions quickly

I've been experiencing nausea, cramps, fatigue, and headaches six days after having intercourse and taking the i-pill. I'm really worried and wondering if these are side effects of the i-pill or if they could be early signs of pregnancy. Could you help me understand what's going on?
