Blood clots: Blood clots can happen when someone takes estrogen containing medications such as birth control pills. Usually there is an underlying medical condition that increases the risk of developing blood clots. If you had a personal or family history of developing clots, you should be evaluated first before starting birth control pills. What exactly makes you concerned about this issue?

Relax: Use your anxiety to make good life style choices. Avoid alcohol, tobacco smoke, eat a healthy diet with lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, avoiding sugar, salt, and commercial animal fat and processed foods. Get a good night sleep and move through the day and learn to manage stress well. See kelly mcgonigal's book the will power instinct, 2012 to lower stress and move towards health.
