I thought I was post meno as I'd not had a period for a year. For the last week I've had really sore boobs and feel like I'm about to come on. No sign of bleeding yet. I had the same last year, a year gap with no period. Not sure if it was related to me being ill, I've had a chest infection for the last 6 weeks and now feel ok. I've always had low bp and been on meds for POTS for the last 10 years or so. Yesterday I went to GP for routine bloods and bp check as I've got to have these for my POTS meds. The reading was an alarming 144/90- alarming for me as I've never had high bp in my life. I'm completely sure that this is somehow related to me feeling like I'm about to start a period after a year. If I do start, I'll be back on the two week pathway for ultrasounds etc., as I've had before. I mentioned it to the nurse but she seems disinterested and asked me to do x2 recordings for 7 days to check bp. I've stopped my POTS meds.
Has anyone had any similar experiences with bp issues? I'm 57 and really had enough of this meno rubbish - been like it since I was 40! My sister had issues with high bp after meno, not sure if I'm going to be following suit....
