Lately, I’ve been noticing my blood pressure acting up ever since menopause kicked in, and apparently, I’m not alone. It turns out the drop in estrogen during menopause doesn’t just bring on the usual hot flashes and mood swings — it can also affect your cardiovascular health. With less estrogen, your blood vessels can become less flexible, which might lead to higher blood pressure levels. No one warned me about that part!
Since keeping an eye on blood pressure seems pretty important during this phase, I’ve been looking into home blood pressure monitors to track my numbers regularly. I’ve seen ones like the Wellue and Checkme monitors that seem popular, but there are so many options out there. Some even store your readings or connect to apps for better tracking, which sounds super helpful.
If you’ve been dealing with menopause and blood pressure changes, have you found a monitor you actually like? I’d love to hear what’s worked for you — especially if it’s easy to use and accurate.
