Does high BP have a relation to fibroid?
Patient: Hi Doctor, I m 45 and has had fibroids since 23. Have 2 boys 16 & 13. While pregnant had low blood pressure but after delivery on routine checks in 1999 had slight high blood pressure. Was not medicated but jus monitored. Had myomectomy in 2001 & 5yr Mirena. Fibroids are back with vengeance and in Oct last yr put on Nifedipine Sustained release tabs 20mg coz BP was 144/104. Get terrible headaches from the med. Any relation between fibroids & high BP & is that the best medication? I m slightly over-weight of late. Thank you Doctor: welcome to hcm ..no there is no relation between fibroids and high bp .as nifedipine gives you headache you can take other more tolerable drug as amlodipine tab 5 mg once a day ...please take care of your weight ..as reduction of weight also decreases bp
