I am 30 years old and diagnosed with pcos about 7 yrs ago. I have always had problems with my blood pressure being a little high, but recently it has been between 170/100 to 185/115. My doc has put me on bp meds, with beta blocker for my pulse (has been racing. around 80 - 90), and also put me on hydrochlorothiazide for water retention. Is this high of blood pressure and pulse normal because of my pcos? I am overweight, 230 lbs, 5' 7". But I walk 2 1/2 miles 3 to 5 days a wk. I have retained water for years, which i always figured was from my pcos. No one in my family has bp problems. I take 2000 mg a day of metformin. I have also been having hot flashes with sweating.
