Thank you Sam at Scope. I am aware of all the advice and yes, it all makes sense. I was really searching for information about the menopause and hypertension for women with CP. I know I am overweight by a stone so that needs to come off and hopefully this will reduce my blood pressure. However I still believe that CP causes high blood pressure as I never get the same reading twice which. makes it quite difficult to know what is normal for me. I'm not on any medication and prefer to manage my pain through diet and regular activity. However, perhaps this is not enough anymore and I need to do some cardio work. Thanks again.
