Hypertension
Birth control helps you manage your life and prevent unwanted pregnancies by shifting your normal hormone levels. This inhibits the ovaries from releasing eggs so that they cannot encounter sperm. At the same time, though, the manipulations of your hormones can also result in adverse health effects such as hypertension, or high blood pressure.
When you take oral contraceptives, you are taking a step to prohibit something that could drastically change your life. However, the side effects of birth control medications like YAZ, Yasmin, and Ocella can also majorly alter your life and interfere with your health and well-being. If you are the victim of YAZ, you should not let the pharmaceutical company that produces this medication get away with this terrible act of negligence. Contact a YAZ side effects lawyer from Williams Kherkher today at 800-761-3187 to discuss your rights.
How YAZ Causes Hypertension
To prevent pregnancy, YAZ disrupts your natural hormone levels so that your ovaries do not release eggs. However, if the medication provides too much estrogen or progestin for your body, it can increase the force of the blood in your body.
Adverse Effects of High Blood Pressure
Over time, hypertension can lead to serious health issues due to the stress that it places on your blood vessels, heart, and other organs. These adverse effects include:
- Congestive heart failure
- Brain damage
- Stroke
- Kidney failure
- Heart attack
