Getting very close to my GP appointment next week and I need to go armed!I had been seeing a consultant who was not keen to start me on HRT as my blood pressure was too high, well it went down just before Christmas but has gone through the roof again this week. It is ridiculous as even the practice nurse says that because I am so tense and anxious all the time, think Christmas reading was a fluke, it will never come down UNTIL I am on HRT!!
Being very tense, anxious, so bad I can hardly breath, along with IBS, which is probably caused by the anxiety now I come to think of it, are the worst symptoms and also cause the weird head stuff, can any of you ladies suggest the best one to start on, I will have to put my case across really well, without having to give an oscar winning performance!
I am 54 and 2 years without periods but had a savage and sudden onset of symptoms in June of last year. I am worried about the progesterone scare stories and don't know whether to have patches or tablets. Reading your postings, I think it is up to me to decide on sequi or conti, never had really bad periods so that is not a problem.
Help, I really don't know what to do! She may not even give me any, but she is a new GP to me and I have to get it right!!
