i can't tell you exactly why it happens but sometimes i feel the same way too. it may just be the hormones... i'm not pregnant either but some days i feel real nauseous and dizzy. i've always been told that its because birth control pills trick you body into thinking its pregnant... that may explain why you get some of the symptoms of pregnancy. either way you're not alone!
