Patient's question:
Now that I'm in menopause, I sometimes feel irritable and restless at night, having trouble sleeping. My friends say it's due to menopause causing high blood pressure. I want to consult about it. Can menopause really cause high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Menopause can lead to high blood pressure. Menopausal hypertension is a relatively common complication of menopausal syndrome. Emotional instability is one of the important reasons for causing menopausal hypertension. It is necessary to pay attention to maintaining emotional stability, keeping a regular lifestyle, and maintaining good deep sleep. In terms of diet, it is important to eat more vegetables and easily digestible foods, and to eat less or avoid spicy and greasy foods. Increase salt intake, etc. Wish the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
