The Pill and Arryhthmia
It’s my 5th month off the pill and I am wondering if I would return to using it. Especially when I just read that hormonal imbalances especially found on patients who were on birth control pills can be the cause of Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). I was surprised when I learned about this as I never knew that such could cause arrhythmias, which may cause sudden cardiac arrest. As far as I know, stress, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking, and excess weight are risk factors, but not hormonal imbalances. I guess I just have to be vigilant and watch more closely the effects of the pill on my body the next time I get back on the regimen.
