What causes menopausal blood pressure to fluctuate?

Many female menopausal friends often experience unstable blood pressure. Their blood pressure may be relatively high for a period of time, and then return to normal within a period of time. So, what should women do if their blood pressure is sometimes high and sometimes low during menopause? What is the reason for such a problem? Let’s learn about it together below. I hope that after reading this, everyone can properly solve the problem of unstable blood pressure in women during menopause.

First, the cause of unstable blood pressure

Whether it is a normal person or a hypertensive patient, the blood pressure shows significant fluctuations during the day and night, and the dynamic blood pressure curve shows "double peaks and one valley", that is, the blood pressure is lowest at night, with a peak at 6-10 in the morning and 4-8 in the afternoon, and then slowly decreases. The day and night blood pressure fluctuations of patients with mild to moderate hypertension are similar to normal, but the blood pressure level is higher. The increase in blood pressure in the morning may be accompanied by changes such as increased blood catecholamine concentrations, increased platelet aggregation and increased fibrinolysis, which may be related to the more frequent occurrence of subacute cardiovascular events in the morning.

A normal person's blood pressure changes within a day can reach 30~4b250mhg. For a person with hypertension, the fluctuation in blood pressure may be greater. There are also differences throughout the year, and seasonal changes can cause changes in blood pressure. Blood pressure fluctuates with mood, rest and temperature. Blood pressure is slightly lower in hot summer than in autumn and winter. After meals, anxiety and depression can all cause blood pressure to rise in a very short period of time. The amount of increase varies from person to person. For example, when a person is suddenly frightened and feels his heart beats rapidly in a quiet environment, his blood pressure may rise by about 5b250mhg faster than when he is calm (for normal people, this kind of blood pressure rise can be quickly restored after a rest). This change is not controlled by belief, and smaller changes cannot be felt. Therefore, a person's blood pressure can fluctuate greatly in a very short period of time (the fluctuation range can be 10~3b250mhg or more) without any obvious feeling.

Second, what should women do if their blood pressure is high or low during menopause?

Many menopausal women want to take a rest when they encounter unstable blood pressure, but what the experts want to tell you is that if you have unstable blood pressure, you should go to the hospital for a check-up, because reaching menopause also indicates that you are getting older, so you need to pay more attention to your body and eat less meat, such as chicken, duck, and fish.

What should women do if their blood pressure fluctuates during menopause? After reading the above content, everyone already has the answer. If you hope that you can avoid large fluctuations in blood pressure and cause trouble for yourself, then it is recommended that you pay attention to your diet during menopause. Only in this way can you avoid being affected by blood pressure fluctuations. In addition, if blood pressure fluctuations have caused you trouble, it is recommended to go to the hospital for regular check-ups and treatments in time.
