What are the causes of high blood pressure?




Can birth control be one?

I am 22 and today I had a doctor’s visit. I had my blood pressure high today and the doctor wants to check my blood pressure five times before he can diagnose it. I asked him if my overweight can be a cause of it and he said probably not and that it may be linked to the birth control method I was using (nuvaring). My height is 5′4 and my weight is 175.
my blood pressure was like 142/90

I use the NuvaRing for birth control. I have a yeast infection. The miconazole cream says "this drug should not be used with other vaginal products", but don’t specify anything like the ring - only condoms and diaphrams.

I can’t use diflucan/fluconazole for this yeast infection, so please don’t suggest it.

I can’t take the NuvaRing out for long enough to use the cream, so please don’t suggest it.
Please note that this is an *internal* cream. I’m well aware that my vulva won’t explode if I apply it outside. I want to be able to take the applicator and apply the cream the way the instructions tell me to: inside my vagina.

I have been on the nuvaring for 3 months now and have recently lost a bit of my libido. I know you can have chiemical problems in your body that can lower your libido but could the hormones, etc. in birth control do it also?
What are some types of birth control (if any) wouldnt lower my libido or not by near as much?
