| Re: Estrogen Domiance and High Blood Pressure
Here's what I picked up on the net....
Hypertension (high blood pressure) has many causes. Estrogen dominance is one of them. Excess estrogen negatively affects cell membranes by allowing an influx of sodium and water and a loss of potassium and magnesium. The result is hypertension.
Extensive studies done by Dr. Milton G. Crane brought him to the conclusion that estrogen dominance, and the use of oral contraceptive agents, were a major cause of hypertension in women. When the hormones are balanced with the supplementation of natural progesterone - blood pressure returns to normal.
If you are on diuretics or other anti-hypertension drugs and using progesterone, you should monitor your blood pressure. As your blood pressure comes under control you will need to reduce or eliminate the anti-hypertension drugs gradually, as needed, to prevent low blood pressure.
...ahhh something to think about...
