Brief Answer:
Common side effect of pills

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic
It is common to have such symptoms after stopping the pills and can persist for 15-30 days even.
Nothing active needs to be done and thus just relax and wait for them to subside.
In case you have any other question please feel free to ask
