Yes Yasmin and birth control pills linked to High Blood Pressure Risk!

Yes!!! Birth control pills have /carry this risk and its published in the accompanying pamphlets as well as often in the published Clinical trials. Many women here at medications.com under the Yasmin side effects and forums as well as at Yasmin Survivors have suffered from high blood pressure, tachardia (racing heart), severe anxiety attacks. See here for many many many other stories of women who landed in ER. ER doctors seem to know and directly correlate the risks and connection between the birth control pills and women's health while prescribing doctors often do not. :http://www.createforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=64&mforum=yasminsideeffec HYPERTENSION*** One of the contributing factors in thrombosis which birth control pill usage has been linked to! HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE which several women reported on medications.com, askapatient.com and the UK forum. High blood pressure is a medical condition where the blood pressure is chronically elevated. It is formally called arterial hypertension. Hypertension gives a higher risk of heart attack or stroke than any other disease! Persistent hypertension is one of the risk factors for strokes, heart attacks, heart failure and arterial aneurysm and is a leading cause of chronic renal (kidney) failure. Likely why women with a history of renal problems are advised not to take Yasmin. 120/89 mmHg to 139/89 is "prehypertension"-risk of developing hypertension. 115/75 has been noted as the gold standard by the Mayo clinic. A number of environmental factors have been implicated in development of hypertension including *SALT INTAKE*, obesity, occupation, alcohol intake, family size, stimulant intake (caffeine), excessive noise exposure and crowding. Salt has the greatest attention. 60% of essential hypertension is responsive to sodium intake. Adrenal hypertension: feature of a variety of adrenal cortical abnormalities. In primary aldosteronism there is a clear relationship between the aldosterone-induced sodium retention and the hypertension.
