What Causes High Blood Pressure?
I went on the mini pill 10 days ago and got a headache right away. I went off of it 2 days ago because I couldn't stand it any more. I just took my blood pressure and it is 140/93. I am 39, have never had anything over 120/80, but do have a history of high blood pressure in my family. Why is my pressure still high?

There is no cause for immediate alarm. Hormones are slow on and slow off. You should simply wait. The effects may take one to two weeks to resolve.
