It is recommended that all women being treated with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) have their blood pressure monitored at regular intervals
A recent study indicated that blood pressure does not increase significantly with hormone replacement therapy in most women with and without high blood pressure, hypertension.
However, a few women may experience a rise in blood pressure attributable to estrogen therapy.
Therefore, it is recommended that all women treated with hormone replacement therapy have their blood pressure monitored more frequently after such therapy is started. Discuss this with your health professional, and arrange to have your blood pressure monitored at regular intervals.
