Hi esteerola,
Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community! If you took your postinor 2 55 hours after having unprotected sex, it is more effective in preventing pregnancy. I looked up side effects of postinor 2 and the most common ones include delayed periods, irregular menstrual cycles, breast tenderness, vomiting, nausea, lower abdominal pain, dizziness, and a headache. It is very likely that the pain in your nipples and feeling like vomiting is a side effect of the emergency birth control.
However, if these side effects continue to last for many days and seem to get worse, I suggest visiting a doctor.
If you do not want to get pregnant and plan to continue having sex, I suggest using protection or getting on a form of birth control. This will help reduce fear of potential pregnancy and you won't need to use emergency birth control as often.
I hope this has helped! Please keep me updated and let me know if you have further questions.
Best,
