Since I've missed my period, seemingly for good (6 months) and am 57 years old, I am quite sure I will finally be at menopause. I feel fine except for frequent hot flashes and the accompanying sweats. My blood pressure, which I monitor daily, has been consistently higher than its usual normal healthy range. Has anyone else experienced this increased blood pressure in similar circumstance?

Hi ruthe! I'm new to the forum and while browsing saw your post regarding your hypertension. The only information I can share with you is that the moment my period stopped my blood pressure went sky high. I thought I was coming down with the flu and never realized what was going on. I was very dizzy and it wasn't until a co-worker planted the thought in my head did I get my pressure checked. Hope you are doing better!
