Hi Simona

Indeed...there just may be an association here.

The American Heart Association has this to say on this topic:  "Medical researchers have found that birth control pills increase blood pressure in some women. It's more likely to occur if you're overweight, have had high blood pressure during pregnancy, have a family history of HBP or have mild kidney disease. The combination of birth control pills and cigarette use may be especially dangerous for some women."

This is definitely something you will want to discuss with your doctor and/or gynecologist to see what options for birth control are safe for you.

You may get more information, resources, and support for your high blood pressure on Health Central's High Blood Pressure Connection.

Hope this helps some.  Let us know what happens after you speak with your doctor.
