HIgh blood preassure history and BIRTH CONTROL?!


Question: My mother has high blood pressure. My family doctor prescribed me Alesse birth control. Im 16. I get anxiety about things so i think I have heart problems but my docot never said I did. He asked me questions and all, and still put me on it.

Since its fairly low dose, is this safe?

I trust my doctor but I would just like a second opinion.

Thank you.

I was on alesse for 2 years and it's a great pill. I had no problems at all. The only reason I switched from it was because while I was in the states I could only get the generic brand and I didn't want generic so now that I'm back in Canada I had to update my prescription so I switched to Yasmin.

Anyway, there are medical hotlines that you could call and ask or planned parenthood, etc. for another opinion
