Ok so here goes................... I was just recentley diagnosised with PCOS. I have also been having blood pressure issues. My pressures are very erratic.... any where from 65/40 to 189/131. When they are high they are accompanied by a low grade fever and sudden headache. I was in the E.R. a few weeks ago with this and unequal pupils but they found nothing........ not in the blood work or head C.T. Any ideas???????????? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I just really don't think this is related to PCOS. Thanks!!!

I am not sure about your symptoms, but I would definitely take them seriously and try and get to the bottom of them. Be persistant with your doctors...and/or get a second opinion.

Regarding being diagnosed with PCOS, just thought I would pass along something... My sister has PCOS and watching your carb intake, overall intake, while also eliminating bad carbs (i.e. sugar and white flour) seems to help a lot, not only with symptoms of PCOS but also with lowering BP, in people who are insulin resistant. Research the CAD diet. I am also looking into this for my BP. I have high insulin, but (according to the dr's...) do not have PCOS.
