Does High BP Have A Relation To Fibroid?
Hi Doctor, I m 45 and has had fibroids since 23. Have 2 boys 16 & 13. While pregnant had low blood pressure but after delivery on routine checks in 1999 had slight high blood pressure. Was not medicated but jus monitored. Had myomectomy in 2001 & 5yr Mirena. Fibroids are back with vengeance and in Oct last yr put on Nifedipine Sustained release tabs 20mg coz BP was 144/104. Get terrible headaches from the med. Any relation between fibroids & high BP & is that the best medication? I m slightly over-weight of late. Thank you

welcome to hcm ..no there is no relation between fibroids and high bp .as nifedipine gives you headache you can take other more tolerable drug as amlodipine tab 5 mg once a day ...please take care of your weight ..as reduction of weight also decreases bp
