I went to donate blood and almost couldnt because of high bloodpressure/pulse. I'm on loestrin 24. Sometimes ill just be laying down and will feel my heart going crazy, and once in a while ill check it randomly and it goes pretty fast. Could my birth control cause this? I eat fairly healthy and work out, but is there anything I can do?
Thanks

Its certainly possible that it could cause high blood pressure. Its something you should mention to your doctor.
That being said, there are many other things that can also cause a rise in your blood pressure. Stress, anxiety, fear and the very common "White coat syndrome". Some people will have a rise in their blood pressure just by being in the doctors office or anywhere a nurse is. I'm one of them. The
best thing to do is ask them to retake it in 10 or 15 minutes. It usually is back to normal by then.
If it isn't, then I would get it checked out.
