Could Hypothyroidism And Primenopausal State Cause High BP?
Hi! I just had a BP reading of 143/80. A few months ago my pressure averaged 130/90. Lately the diastolic pressure has been coming down but the systolic has been averaging 140. What could this suggest and could my hypothyroidism and perimenopausal state be major factors? Many thanks

Hi,
Both hypothyroidism and perimenopausal state can cause high blood pressure.
You should keep your thyroid hormones normal and monitor your blood pressure. If you notice that your blood pressure is frequently above 140 mm Hg then you will need a treatment.
You should cut the amount of salt intake, it will help to regulate your blood pressure.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
