I have been feeling off for some time, dizzy and an increase in hot flushes with weight loss over an extended time. The dr has sent me for various blood tests which have been more or less normal with a slight concern about red blood cells. Anyway, Im due a review on Friday and in anticipation I have been taking my blood pressure and I can't get it below 150 / 75 at best. I have issues with taking blood pressure and it starts off really high and does drop but this week not to below 150. I haven't done it for ages and tbh last time I did it it was on the high side but not as bad. I am really worried that the dr will say I have to stop HRT. I'm on evorel conti. I don't think I could cope without HRT although Im still not great, it has alleviated my headaches and greatly reduced my stomach issues. Has anyone any experience of using HRT and taking blood pressure mediaction together. I can't find any NICE guidelines about this, only an article by Louise Newson saying that high blood presure shouldn't preclude HRT.
