Do I have PCOS?

Hi,

I have been wondering whether I have PCOS for a few years now. . I have gained around 70lbs in the last few years and struggle to lose weight. I wouldn't say I have excessive hair growth but I do have to either shave my face or pluck out a few hairs from my chin and face. I also have some hair growth around my belly. I don't know whether my doctor will just dismiss this due to the fact I have very regular although they can be on the heavier side. I have also found out recently my blood pressure is high at 161/90. I am also tired all the time, although I do suffer with vitamin D deficiency. My mum had PCOS so I really don't know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
