[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. There are few possibilities in your case.1. HERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)2. Stress and anxiety related (mood disorder)Birth control pills can cause HERD and mood swings (anxiety). And you are taking it since 1 year. So chances of side effects Are high. And HERD and anxiety are very well known side effects of birth control pills. So better to consult gynecologist and discuss these side effects. At present take good proton pump inhibitor and avoid stress and anxiety. You are too young for cardiac disease. So possibility of cardiac cause is very less. Side effects of birth control pills appears more in your case.
