Hypertension does not always prevent the use of the pill or patch….uncontrolled hypertension is the real problem. If you are hypertensive, once the doctor gets it under control, then birth control pills or the patch may become an option.
In the meantime, other forms of birth control that the doctor may suggest are:
cervical cap
diaphragm
IUD
female condom
contraceptive sponge
spermacides
When uncontrolled hypertension is involved, all products that contain hormones are not recommended. Those products include:
the pill
nuvaring
patch
depo-provera
mini-pill
Good luck! Hope your blood pressure was just up due to nervousness or rushing around that day. I hope it all works out for you.
