 Posted: 07/16/06 - 07:37 Post subject: Perimenopause and Hypertension |
  |
|
Hi. I am 41 and experiencing what I believe to be multiple perimenopausal symptoms: heavier periods, lighter periods, early periods, starting cycle and stopping a day later and then starting again, moodiness, depression and sadness, extreme tiredness, and most recently elevated blood pressure.
My blood pressure typically runs 110/60 to 120/70. Because of the headaches, I went to visit my doctor and found that my blood pressure was 120's over 80-90's. Big jump for me. There is some history of hypertension in my family, but I do not have many of the risk factors. I have read some reseach that states that the causes of high blood pressure can go unknown. My question is:
Is there any research that links sudden high blood pressure to perimenopause? |

The same thing happened to me. I had exceptionally low blood pressure my whole life. Around age 42 it all of a sudden jumped to very high. Around the same time or shortly there after I began to experience night sweats, insonmia, and extreme irritability. I am now 45 and have now been on medication for hypertension for almost 2 years. I am also full fledge into all of these annoying perimenopausal symptons.
Is there any connection? |
