Do any of you get slightly elevated blood pressure readings during your period? My period came on yesterday and my bp has been up a little. I am on amlodipine for bp. I was just wondering if anyone else gets this?

    I do. I've been considered borderline and now take Lisinopril. I get the dizzy/off balance feeling during my cycle and when the pressure is up a little bit

    My doc told me to drink a little more water and that should help.

      I read a lot of women develop high blood pressure during this time. Crazy how things just change overnight.
