On the 15th of January I went to a sex health clinic for what I thought was a UTI and because I had had unprotected sex the night before, I was given the emergency pill EllaOne. Two days later I became really anxious, could not sleep properly at night and had severe nausea for the entire day. I started having flu which lasted for one week and on the 23rd I was again really nauseous so I went to a gynecologist who told me I have a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst on the left side and told me it's nothing to worry about. The nausea still persists, I eat a smaller amount than before and I feel bloated and full, I don't crave any food and feel extremely tired (sleep 12h per night). I did a pregnancy test that came out negative, but why all these symptoms? Also two weeks after taking the pill, is it normal? My GP was very unhelpful.

Thanks
