Is It Safe To Take Hcg Drops When Having Heart Problem?

Goodmorning I have 5 brain aneurysms... found out due to a subrachnoid hemmorage in Nov of 2009.. two already coiled and stented and we r monitoring them ..I am going back in January for next Angiogram ... to make sure my third surgery on June 29 looks ok with stent since there were complications with blood clot... my question is... I bought hcg drops to loose weight... are they safe???? Can I take them? Is supposedly a hormone that's produced by pregnant women... but I want to make sure

No , HCG is not recommended for you .
There is a strong concern that hcg can increase blood pressure which may be detremental for you as it increases the chance for aneurysm rupture and another bleed .
Do follow an more holistic approach to loose weight .
