I’m 34 and have been dealing with hugh blood pressure for the last 1.5 years. Outta nowhere my blood pressure skyrocketed and now on meds for it. I’m on the nexplanon for the 2nd time straight (got it when my youngest was 6 weeks old) lost weight, felt ok, had brain fog and moody and anxiety, got it replaced and it’s been hell. Joints hurt, tired, hungry all the time, and now high blood pressure. I am over weight but I wasn’t 2 years ago. My dr thinks it’s bc of my weight but I can’t get the weight off. I’m hoping the copper iud will be better. My levels have come out “fine” yet I feel horrible. I have 3 young very active kiddos to take care of and I can’t even do that atm, it’s depressing and I feel like a failure mom bc of it.
