A member asked:
I have dysautonomia and have debilitating flares and low bp the week prior to my cycle every month. i've read it's due to the decrease in estrogen. would a continuous birth control pill help better than a 28 day cycle pill?

Consult with your GYN physician about using combined oral bcp's by eliminating the "placebo" week. Several packs of the 21 active pills will eliminate the symptoms described.
