[|Human|] I am a post menopausal 55 year old and have been experiencing episodes of breathlessness at night over the last couple of weeks.  My BP is 148/98. I am not overweight; exercise daily; have a healthy diet and do not drink. I do take thyroxine daily however.  Unable to see my GP until Wednesday or later. Could you advise
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. After menopause, women are at increased risk of cardiac diseases like hypertension, heart failure, coronary artery disease (CAD) etc. Your blood pressure reading (148/98)is high. And breathlessness especially in night is commonly seen with heart diseases. So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).You may need antihypertensive and other cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. If all these reports are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
