Hi Ellie my daugther had high blood pressure and eventually it was found to be the pill she was on to regulate her periods. Is there anything you are taking even herbal remedies can sometimes put bp up.

Yes It may be , I am currently not on the pill due to loads of problems but the pill just doesn’t agree with my body , I have tried two and in December came off the mini pill for good , how did your daughters blood pressure come down and did it eventually ?

It is a cause for concern but look at it this way: it has been caught before it became too serious. There is loads of information on the BHF website, including downloadable leaflets, etc. Get some of these and read them. Avoid Google, except for reputable websites like the NHS, BHF and similar. We are here to help you both through it.

I drank ( now grow the berries ) Aronia berry juice (Black ones) ,50 mil every morning for 6 months , it's very well documented , look it up and research see if it maybe suitable for you . It helped with my blood pressure a lot and still good today ,I only eat the berries now when they are in season on my own bush
