help i have pcos and high blood pressure?
well i have pcos i have the acne and hair on my chin my period is not to irregular just comes a few days late or early every month, not to bad. But the doctor wants to give me birth control pills now i have taken those before and they worked well, but now that my insurance will only let me get generics and they do not seem to work the same. Now i have heard about the benefits of taking the pill but i have also been hearing that htey can cause heart problems and strokes my father died of heart problems and also had a stroke and high blood pressure, my blood pressure only goes high occasionaly it is not high all the time. So my question is do i take the birth control pills and the meds for high blood pressure even though i hate medicine and prefer naturla cures. Also let me say that my blood pressure has been really good for the past 4 months and i have been off the meds. i got one higher reading and they want me back on meds. ok thanks for any tips and info you can give me, ALSo i have heard that garlic pills is good for blood pressure is that true guess i should also mention i am overweight and it is very hard for me to lose weight

I think you should try dietary control. The first thing I would suggest is gluten free. Many many people have issues with gluten. Especially people who are overweight. That’s the first diet I would try. If you don’t see any changes with that, many women with pcos find a lot of success with low carb diets. You could also try macrobiotic or raw diets. They’re a lot more strict, but you’ll see much faster results.
I wouldn’t go for the herbal treatments. You may see marginal results, but used alone, they’re probably not going to do much.
Have you ever had your thyroid checked? There are big changes in the way they view hypothyroidism. I was told for years that mine was fine even though I suspected that it was low. One day, they sent me my test results in the mail and I looked it up and it turns out that the lab standards they were going by were outdated and I was indeed hypothyroid. It helped me lose a lot of weight.
I’ve found that diet is the single best way to improve your health, but not in the old fashioned "eat less and eat high fiber low fat" way. That does very little for you.
If all else fails, sometimes you can appeal your insurance’s decision to only give you generics. You might ask your doctor about it.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cut out refined sugar and refined carbs. Do a google search on "high blood pressure and refined sugar", "high blood pressure and refined carbs", "pcos and refined sugar" "natural remedies for pcos"
You’ll be amazed at what you read and find out what refined sugar can cause in us humans.
Keep searching & you will find your answers.
Drink lots of filtered water.
