so i went to a dr. appt today. i just got back from it. blood pressure still high. 150/108. crap! the bottom is still high. i am very much high at risk. i was talking to the nurse...she looked back at my last visit which was oct. '07 and my blood pressure was fine. and i said ya know that's the appt. i went to so that i could get on the pill. ah, so my suspicision. it's the pill!!! the bc pill causes high blood pressure. so then the dr. comes in. we discuss it more. i must stop my birth control pill immediately!!!! i can't take the bc pill if i have high blood pressure. and she told me to stop taking the pill that urgent care gave me and try out a new, sample one for 10 days. then to come back for a bp reading and if this pill works she'll prescribe it to me. so, no more birth control pill, or the pill urgent care gave me. take new pill. avoid salt. monitor my bp. keep me in prayer. still kinda scares me cause i know i'm at high risk (and i know they mean at high risk of getting a stroke). pray that my bp will go down with this new pill and without being on birth control.

Or maybe your BP will go down a lot because birth control was the reason in the first place, and you won't need additional meds. Praying for you my friend!
Oh no, I hope you will feel better and get better. So if it is bc you are taking birth control, shouldn't you stop all? Just asking. Keep us updated.
