IS ANYONE TAKING BIRTH CONTROL PILL THAT HAS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?

I am 34 and just had my third and last baby. I am due to begin Tri-Sprintec pills Sunday but my blood pressure is up some. Is this going to make it go up more and is it very dangerous? Please do not answer if you do not really know- looking for personal experience if possible. Thanks for your help!!!IS ANYONE TAKING BIRTH CONTROL PILL THAT HAS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?
I have never had high blood pressure, but once I began taking birth control my blood pressure skyrocketed. Thanks to birth control, my once 119/70 reading is now as high as 160/95, but there is good news. If you talk to you regular physician he can prescribe medicine to keep your blood pressure regulated. I am taking a calcium blocker called Felepodine, and thanks to it my blood pressure is now down to a normal reading. So, just because you have high blood pressure doesn't mean that you can't use contraception it just mean adding another pill to your daily regimen! I hope this helped!IS ANYONE TAKING BIRTH CONTROL PILL THAT HAS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?
No as it is too dangerous if your Bp is high drs cannot prescribe combined oral contraception in case you have a stroke /blood clot. My sister inlaw has high BP and has never had children but has the coil as she was not permitted the Pill.
