I guess I didn't know where to post this but I put it here, because my BP is a little high, around 130/90, but I am not over weight. (5'6,130 lbs., medium build,20% BF) Well, maybe I am over-fat, I guess I don't know what a healthy body fat percentage is, but my doctor didn't belive weight was the cause for my elevated blood pressure.
I eat a balanced diet and exercise, though admittedly, not as much as I should, I am active. And to my knowledge, there is no prior history of high BP in my family.
So could it be related to the PCOS, or maybe the BC I take? (I've been on BC fo 10 years) Does amyone know if high BP has ever been linked tio PCOS? I guess I don't recall ever hearing or reading that.

I don't know if it's related or not. Personally, I always have lower than not BP (normal for me is around 110/70).

Gosh, Katie, I'm not sure about that either. Usually high BP in a thin person is due to genetics, so I'm surprised no one in your family has high BP. There are some other causes, usually anatomical things related to your kidneys, but I would expect your pressure to be a little higher than that. How many times has your bp been high? Multiple readings over a period of weeks? Do you drink coffee? Are you nervous when you have it read? Yours isn't terribly high, but I'd certainly keep an eye on it and talk to your doctor about it, especially if it has been on more than 1 or 2 occasions.

I have something similar. My BP is borderline high. I was a few lbs overweight (I lost 15 lbs so now I'm 'normal' for my size) but my blood pressure is still on the high side (borderline). I don't have any blood pressure in the family either. I've read that PCOS can go along with high BP tho I don't know what the connection is...if it is a direct cause or something that just tends to go along with it. But I have read about blood pressure and PCOS a few places online.
