Can Taking Levlen Ed Cause Severe Headaches?
I have recently started taking levlen ed (first cycle) & am experiencing a severe headache (that it s worsening) since starting on the white inactive pills. I am worried my that my blood pressure may be affected as I had pregnancy induced hypertension whenI had my baby 8 months ago.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thank you for the query.
Levlen can rarely cause high blood pressure.
Headache and migraine attacks are commoner.
Since you are worried about high blood pressure, it would be good to have it checked by a nurse or at a clinic. If it is found to be high, then it is better to discontinue Levlen.
Wish you good health.
