 Anyone with controlled high BP successfully take Yasmin?
I started my rollercoaster after having my daughter 3 years ago (preeclampsia). My BP stayed elevated and last summer I went off yasmin to see if it would bring my bp down. It didn't. My BP is around 160/90 unmedicated. I went on Mirena, horrible acne, greasy skin, headaches, weight gain, mood swings. Tried Yaz, bad skin, hated it. Hubs got a V in april (at the time birth control was our main issue). So starting around April, I've been on nothing but Lisinopril (smallest dose) for BP and it keeps my BP about 115/65.
Fast forward through the summer, I've gained 15-20 lbs - I am a fairly thin cyster and always have exercised and eaten lo carb, skin on back, chest, neck is horrible, bad acne, greasy skin. Have had a period for 1 full month now. My gyn is putting me back on yasmin and I will be monitoring my BP.
All this history to ask: Has anyone been on BCP and successfully controlled their BP at the same time?
