Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Support Group

Unfortunately HBP usually goes hand in hand with PCOS. I was on Lotrel 5-10 taken once a day but I got pregnant and had to be switched to Aldomet 500 mg 3xday and hope to switched back to the Lotrel once I deliever.

Did u have any side effects frm the Lotrel and aldomet is that doing well with u? Iwas prescribed different meds and all of them have bad side effects. The worst was causing irregular bleeding which with PCOS I will not take and I refusd so I am looking for meds to bring up to my obgyn. I am trying to concieve and this is really hard o take in right now. i really do thank u for ur reply and it helped me.
Did u get pregnant while on lotrel?

I also have PCOS and High Blood Pressure. Like tishie1993 said they go hand in hand according to everything I read. I am taking HCTZ and Labatelol, which is safe to take during pregnancy. With these two meds my BP is controled very well. I have no side effects from either one other than the HCTZ being a water pill I pee a good bit, but that is a good thing, it is doing it job. I wish you the best of luck.

I also have high blood pressure and the doctor attributes it to the PCOS. Weight Control plays a huge roll. I lost 20 lbs and was able to get completely off the meds. I of course gained it back and have had problems with it since but am working on reducing the weight again now. I am on labetalol 400mg now. I don't know what they will switch me to while pregnant. When I was pregnant before they left me on the labetalol but it was only 100mg then.

I am on HCTZ as well. I was only taking one a day but at my prenatal appointment they increased it to two. Fortunately that has been able to control it so far. GL!

I have been on Hydrochlorothiazide(HCTZ) for 2 years and it has helped me a lot..the only downfall is that is makes u burn real easy in the sun or in the tanning bed! I am also on Lovastatin for high cholestrol and Metformin and Paxil for the hbp..to control anxitey..all working really well except the metformin..need more..1000mg hope this helps..ttyl

I had high blood pressure before I was ever diagnosed with PCOS. Fortunately I'm not taking a high dosage and should be off of it soon because my blood pressure seems to be stabilizing. I'm just hoping that it doesn't relapse after I stop taking my meds because I have been taking them for about a year. I am only taking 5 mgs of Ziac.
