Menopause and hypertension

Q: I have experienced occasional sleep disorders (due I believe to menopause). When I am sleep deprived, my blood pressure registers 150/100. This is high, but when I am not sleep deprived, it’s fine. What measures can I take to address this temporary increase in my blood pressure? I am interested specifically in lifestyle modifications as opposed to medication.

A: Around menopause is typically when women develop high blood pressure. You should be evaluated by your doctor. Because many women gain weight during the change, eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly is especially important. You might want to try using the RESPeRATE. It is clinically proven to lower blood pressure and many users report that regular use improves sleep.
