Will menopause cause high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've experienced symptoms like blurred vision again, especially now that I'm going through menopause. I'm feeling very frustrated, and I've heard from others that it might be high blood pressure. I want to ask if menopause can actually trigger high blood pressure?

Doctor's answer:

Normal adult systolic blood pressure is 90-139 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure is 60-89 mmHg. If systolic blood pressure is greater than or equal to 140 or diastolic blood pressure is greater than or equal to 90, it is considered hypertension. Based on your current condition, it cannot be ruled out that blurred vision is caused by the existing hypertension problem, and it often has accompanied endocrine disorders, which can manifest as obvious personality and temperament changes. It is recommended that you consider using antihypertensive drugs under the advice of a doctor, develop good lifestyle habits, eat as much fresh fruit and vegetables as possible, and pay attention to increasing rest. Avoid adding tolerance, engage in aerobic exercise such as running or brisk walking to improve heart function.
