Heart Disease Prevention
Welcome to February where we will discuss cardiovascular health and heart disease prevention.
Did you know menopause increases your risk of heart disease? Due to the decrease of estrogen, some women notice an increase of their blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
I was diagnosed with hypertension while going through perimenopause and unfortunately, none of the physicians on my health team discussed the risks of this solely due to perimenopause and of course family history.
Since I have been on HRT, and with the weight loss,my blood pressure has returned to normal and I am no longer on 2 medications.
The question is what do you do about it? If you are having severe symptoms during the menopause stages, optimization of your hormones will help significantly and lower your risks.
Hormone Replacement Therapy is not for everyone and it's extremely individualized.
If you don't have contraindications gor use, please schedule an appointment and we will discuss your hormones in detail and what your treatment options are.
Please do not suffer in silence!
These are some helpful heart disease prevention tips.
