Either way: Some women stop at the average age of menopause, around 51, or some women continue on.  Obviously, the reason to take now is to protect your bones and heart.

Question 10

is hrt rate of 135 dangerous,mi. dr pulled me off fentanyl100mcg every48hrs  he says ill be fine is this true,he is no longer able to perscribe medica?

Accepted Answer

Hope this helps: Depending on the rythm the heart rate can have more issues than others. If you are on fentanyl I would make the assumption you have pain. If such is the case then you probably have Sinus Tachycardia. Normal response heart rate. If not, and your rythm is Atrial Fibrillation for example with a CHADS2 score &gt;2 you might need anticoagulation. So it depends on the picture if the HR is "dangerous" or no
