Hi,

Birth control pills usually does not cause these fainting symptoms. I would still advise you to stop birth control pill and do a thyroid profile test, regular monitoring of blood pressure and have good nutritious food. Also, if possible, do a CT scan of brain. Don't use any hormonal method of contraceptive, instead use mechanical methods like condoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
