Does HCG Drops Cause High Blood Pressure?
I have always had a blood pressure of 120/80. I am 55 years old and weighed 215. Last March I went on the hcg drops. 6 weeks on 6 weeks off. By August I had lost 45 pounds. I felt great throughout the whole diet. Recently I went to go back on the drops. I need to lose another 25 lbs. I only took them for two days and had an episode where my blood pressure went to 171/91. I recently had and ekg and stress test. They were fine. Does the homepathic hcg drops cause hight blood pressure?

Yes ,
There are many reports which do suggest that Hcg can cause increase in blood pressure and pulse causing palpitation and headache .It's better to avoid Hcg completely and try more holistic approach like diet plan and exercise to lose weight for long term benefit.
