Patient's question:
Mother is 50 years old. Her menstrual cycle has been irregular for several months, followed by blood pressure fluctuations. During the day, her systolic blood pressure ranges between 130-150 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure between 80-95 mmHg. After 5 PM in the evening, her systolic blood pressure rises to 150-180 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure to 80-90 mmHg, remaining unstable. She takes one tablet of an angiotensin II receptor blocker in the morning and two doses of Niuhuang Hypotensive Pills at night, but her blood pressure still rises! Her triglycerides are slightly elevated, about twice the normal value, and she has been taking Fenofibrate for three days! She is also taking Wuling Capsules! Sometimes she experiences dizziness, palpitations, and muscle aches all over her body!Doctor's answer:
Receiving traditional Chinese medicine decoctions can help stabilize blood pressure, and blood pressure fluctuations may be related to dysregulation of nervous system function during menopause. Taking prepared Chinese medicine is not an ideal treatment. The occurrence of menopausal syndrome not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and then treat accordingly. Daily life should involve drinking more water and paying attention to personal hygiene.
