Hello,
Yes, the symptoms which you are illustrating many find them to be present due to the estrogen component of the pills. So if this continues for a month, then I would suggest you change the dose of it under the supervision of your gynecologist and moreover always keep a track of your blood pressure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Medhavi Agarwal
