clueless

i have been having heavy periods for a while now. it has gotten a lot worse since i have had my children. i cramp like a week before i get them and then i cramp for a few days after them. they are so heavy that i have to change like every hour and i wear the overnight pads at all times. if i go out i have to use a tampon and an overnight pad and i still leak out. its really embarrassing. but i cant really get my doc. to help me out. i cant be put on birth control because of my blood pressure problems. im not a good candidate is what they have told me. im not sure what to do anymore. most women in my family have hysterectomies before they are 30 due to everything from endometriosis etc. and i am 28 and approaching it quickly. i just wish i could get my doc. to do something about it for me...anyone else have this same problem?? or anyone offer me some advice on how to get the doc. to do something for me? i go through military docs and they dont really like to comply....any help would be greatly appreciated...thank you
