At 49 years, Menopausal Hormonal changes could be contributing to symptoms but the severe Hypertension needs very careful monitoring. One needs at this stage to see the PCP, Cardiologist and Gynecologist as well. And follow their recommendations as potential for complications are present. Staying calm and relaxed as well as avoiding Stress are also helpful.
