Has anyone got any experience of very high blood pressure as a result of the contraceptive pill?
I was put on a new pill around a year ago. Bp has always been normal. Was slightly high (130/85) in feb, then rocketed up to 170/110 in march (although to be fair there were other things going on then too which may have influenced it). I came off the pill about a month ago and it has been falling ever since. It is still higher than normal (135/95 ish) but much better. From looking at research papers it seems that although the pill causes small increases in most women it can cause very high bp in some. It is more common if you have had pre-clampsia (which i did). Does anyone have any experience of this? I'd be interested to hear. I am being monitored by my GP.
