# Does high blood pressure increase the risk of PMS?

Yes. Women with high blood pressure were 4.5 times more likely to have PMS. The study was small and looked at one point in time, so it shows association but cannot prove one causes the other.

 Early or limited evidence

88 women in Indonesia - 44 with high blood pressure and 44 without.

## What they did

Researchers measured blood pressure and weight in 88 women in Indonesia - 44 with high blood pressure and 44 without - and asked about PMS symptoms. The study took place from April to May 2014.

## What they found

Women with high blood pressure were 4.5 times more likely to have PMS compared to women without high blood pressure.

## What it means for you

High blood pressure may be connected to PMS through changes in hormones and stress. However, the sample was small, it was only one snapshot in time, and we cannot tell whether high blood pressure causes PMS or PMS causes blood pressure to rise.
