Sudden spike in blood pressure - what could be the cause?
I am almost 35 years old (will be on March 3rd). I am on Yaz (to control my rages), levothyroxine (to even out my thyroid), and Dilantin (to control my seizures). I know when I was on Yasmin, my blood pressure spiked from an average of 116/70 to 128/80. The doctor put me on Yaz because the hormones were lower. However, when I measured my blood pressure last night, it was 139/96. I've also had some headaches, too (and I NEVER get headaches). Could the hormones in the Yaz be contributing to this? If this is the case, I'm willing to go off of it immediately and attempt to deal with the rages in a constructive manner (i.e., counseling, heavy exercise, etc).
I don't know what the cause is, but that is extremely high! Call your doctor now and get in today! That is nothing to play around with! That is why they call it the silent killer. People don't worry about it soon enough and have a heart attack or stoke! Please call now.

Angiotensin II, polypeptide hormone Photo Mugs Angiotensin II, molecular model. Angiotensin II is a polypeptide hormone that functions in the body to control arterial blood pressure. It is the principle mediator of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), synthesised from angiotensin I by the angiotensin-converting enzyme ACE. It stimulates vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels to raise the blood pressure) and the retention of salt and w... |

Prostacyclin, molecular model Photo Mugs Prostacyclin, molecular model. This is a hormone that acts to widen blood vessels (thus lowering blood pressure) and to prevent aggregation of platelets (preventing blood clotting). These effects are the opposite of those of the related hormone thromboxane, and the balance between the two is important in regulating the functioning of the circulatory system. When taken as a drug it is known as epop... |
