Q: I always had low blood pressure (110/70) readings until I reached perimenopause. I was on Loestrin for 9 years. My high bp fluctuated during this time. My blood pressure now is at 130 over 90. I have been off the Rx for a year and wonder if my readings will go down. I am 57, 130lbs 5′2″ and have no other health problems.
A: It is unlikely your blood pressure will go down by itself. It is more likely that it will continue to increase. Regular cardiovascular exercise and a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables will help lower blood pressure, even in people with a normal weight. Use of the RESPeRATE may also be appropriate. Talk to your doctor.
