Kinda concerns me. I just started visiting a therapist. But I do fear that high blood pressure, which I take medication for, will kill my opportunity for HRT.

Hi Marly, welcome to Susan's. If it's under control with other medications it shouldn't be an issue. I would recommend talking about it with your doctor and your therapist in regards to your concerns. Remember they take your health overall into account. I look forward to seeing you around the site. Good luck and Hugs.

Welcome to Susan's! Your doctors should be able to prep you for HRT but it might mean needing to lose weight, exercise, giving up smoking/drinking/stress (if any of the above applies). I wouldn't worry about it at this stage, talk to your therapist first... one step at a time.
Hello Marly! Welcome to Susans.org! You can't stay in a better place. Hope we can help you in anything you need.
Hugs
