i'm going through the menopause and have had severe headaches for the last month managed to get a doctors appointment who said the headaches were due to high blood pressure and put me on medication. that was over a week ago and still got the headache. i asked the gp if the headache could be from the menopause and he said i don't know. does anyone else suffer from headaches sine being menopausal?

Hi anne
?Yes I was exactly like you with headaches. I was put on blood pressure tabs as my blood pressure was high. It does take a while to get into your system. I have had my tabs increased over time & decreased. I must say that blood pressure does cause headaches with some people as it did with me. Maybe give it a couple more weeks to see how you feel. I was menopausal when I started blood pressure tabs hope this helps !

Thank you. I take Estrodial Oestrogen, 4 pumps every day. That is what takes away all the horrible Menopause symptoms. The Progesterone I take for 10 days, I wouldn't take it if I didn't need it, but if you have a womb and just take Oestrogen you are at risk of getting womb cancer, the Progesterone prevents this. I still get a few mild symptoms from the Utrogestan Progesterone pessaries such as mild tension and tiredness but I can cope with those. Professor John Studd has done a lot of research on the Menopause and HRT, He is worth looking up and reading his findings.

Thank you for your kind replies. You give me hope, I have this obsessive mind now, with obsessive worries, since I stopped sleeping revently. When you say "tension", you mean like nervous tension? I read in some posts that progesterone helps with anxiety, then others say it makes it worse. for some it is calminng.

You are very welcome. By tension I mean being slightly uptight about things. Things bothering me when usually they don't. Professor Studd has researched Progesterone intolerance, it is worth reading up on his findings. Many woman are better with Progesterone, the one's who aren't have usually suffered all of their menstruation years as they are also intolerant to the Progesterone their own bodies produce.

You cannot take Oestrogen (UK spelling) on it's own as it can cause thickening of the womb and cancer, the Progesterone prevents this. Have you looked into the Biodentical Progesterone vaginally pessaries. It's seems strange that you couldn't take these as it is what we produce naturally in our menstruation cycle.

Hello Anne
my symptoms are exactly like yours, headaches and after a while went to GP who diagnosed high blood pressure, put me on meds, I still get the headaches on side of my head, so eti es neck and shoulders too. I check my BP with a home monitor and it's ok, 130/80, 2 wks ago I went back to my GP, complaining headaches, he says it's sinus... Put me on antibiotics, headache is still there, comes and goes...
I've try not to stress myself, as I have lived with stressing myself all my life, as a single parent... Just try to relax and keep taking the meds doctor prescribed for u..
