Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns about your period and hypertension.
How high is your blood pressure? Are you using a home monitory unit?
A blood pressure of less than 140/90 is recommended for persons under the age of 30 and up to the age of 59. I strongly recommend you have your BP checked by your primary care physician.
Brown vaginal discharge or brown spotting indicates old blood. It is not uncommon for a woman to have light brown spotting before the start of her menstrual period. This is old blood left behind in the uterus from the previous period. But, in your case, you should contact your gynecologist and report what has been going on.
Congratulations on working on losing weight. Speak with your physicians about your concerns. This will give you peace of mind and keep you on the rack to good health.
