Blood Pressure

Ok, another dumb question as I sit here healing....but since my hysterectomy my BP has been slightly elevated.

I use to have below normal BP...so is this related to the loss of estrogen, or surgery being hard on the body. (There isn't much pain anymore so I don't think that's a factor) I know if I was concerned I should see my PCP...I'm really just more curious about the cause, maybe the lack of activity, I'm actually drinking way less caffine because of the hot flashes...so just curious.

    This should be discussed with your PCP. We are not allowed to give medical advice per the TOS.

    So often we want to associate an illness or misfortune to a specific cause. We want a specific answer to why did this happen to me! My child got his shots then got diagnosed with autism, I had an abortion now I have cervical cancer, I was exposed to (fill in the blank) now such and such happened, I ate carrots at lunch and got in a MVA driving home (I know it is silly but often it makes as much sense.) I would think your BP has been gradually going up due to age, genetics, diet, general health, etc. I'm not saying I know the answer to your question. I know you were just asking a "general" question, just curious.
