Menopause marks more than a hormonal shift; it’s also an important phase for cardiovascular health.
Before the age of 60, 30–50% of women develop hypertension, often without clear or classic symptoms.
Women’s heart health can be harder to assess because cardiovascular changes often occur in smaller vessels rather than in large-artery blockages. As a result, standard tests may not always capture early changes.
Women may notice symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, nausea, or discomfort in the jaw, back, or abdomen, signs that are sometimes overlooked or minimised.
Awareness matters.
Menopause is not only a hormonal transition, but it is also a vascular one.
