I've been experiencing flushes, sleep deprivation, and irratic periods for 2 years now. I have just been told that I have high-blood pressure. Could these symptoms be linked to that?

Yes, it can be, hormonal changes can disrupt sleeping patterns and also affect blood pressure.

I am surprised that your doctor hasn't tested your hormonal balance as you are well within the average age range of the menopause, 45-55.

In the meantime, you may find Dormeasan helpful for sleep.
