What Causes High BP And Headaches Before And During Menstruation?
I have been experiencing headaches before and the first couple of days of my period. This month the headache lasted 4 days and my blood pressure spiked to 177/95. Are the headaches during my period an indicator that bp is high? I used to get severe cramps. Since my late 40 s I get headaches instead.
Hello thank you for asking the question. Headache before and during the period indicates possibility of premenstrual tension syndrome. this syndrome characterized by irritability, anxiety, headache, mood changes, cramps, breast tenderness etc. regarding your blood pressure, if it remains to as high as describe by you then consult a doctor to treat the condition. calcium and vitamin E supplimentation, counselling, avodance of stress,etc can be tried in to releive the symptoms. hope this will helpful to you.
