Hypertension and Oral Contraception
Drug-induced blood pressure elevations represent an important and modifiable cause of secondary hypertension ; therefore, it is important that doctors recognize this causal relationship. For millions of women, oral contraceptive pills are an effective way to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, get irregular periods back on track, and help clear up problems due to hormonal shifts, such as acne. For the most part, birth control pills are safe and have merely minor potential side effects. Chronic use of oral contraceptives may slightly raise blood pressure in certain women and may have other adverse effects on cardiovascular risk. Early epidemiologic studies using high-dose estrogen found mean elevations in blood pressure of 3 to 6 mmHg systolic and 2 to 5 mmHg diastolic, with approximately 5% of women developing new hypertension. This case report refers to a young woman who developed gestational hypertension in her second pregnancy, and after post gestational normalization of the blood pressure and initiation of oral contraceptives therapy, developed oral contraceptives-induced hypertension.
